Puget Sound Naval Shipyard worker fired after raising concerns about coronavirus
BREMERTON -- An employee recently fired at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard says she was investigated after raising alarm over working conditions there during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
In mid-March, Megan Mayo advocated hazard pay and complained to management that not enough social distancing and other measures were being implemented at the shipyard, the largest such facility in the nation. She even made a sweatshirt that cited CDC statistics on one side and a quote from the shipyard's commander, Capt. Dianna Wolfson, about putting "shipyard before self."
"I wanted to show that despite the alarming statistics that we still would show up and do our jobs because our loyalty to the mission and the ideal that a lot of us embody each day of ... 'shipyard ahead of self,'" she said.
The shipyard declined to comment on the investigation and termination.
