“Substantially comparable” means a job with PeaceHealth or another employer with similar hours, that pays at least 80 percent of the worker’s current pay, and that is within 50 miles of the worker’s current job site.

I doubt many lab workers at PeaceHealth would be thrilled about taking a 20% pay cut to commute to Albany every day. Some may be able to land positions with Quest, but clearly the intention is to make many of the local lab positions redundant and redirect that work to Seattle.
