In Griffin v. Eller, 130 Wn.2d 58, 922 P.2d 788 (1996), the Court was asked to determine whether the small business exception in RCW 49.60.040 violated the equal protection clause under a rational basis analysis. The Court concluded the small business exception represents a legislative decision about the type of work environment reached by the statutory provisions. Griffin, 130 Wn.2d at 66-70.
