State employees rally at capitol in Olympia, Washington, April 21. Four days earlier the Washington Federation of State Employees, representing 19,000 workers and 800 nurses in the Service Employees International Union, District 1199, began rolling walkouts to back up their demands for wage raises and a cap on health-care costs. Hundreds of food service workers, janitors, and gardeners organized picket lines at the University of Washington, Seattle Central Community College, and other campuses the same day.
