No. In order for the WSHRC to investigate a case of alleged whistleblower retaliation, the complainant must either 1) File a case with SAO which initiates an investigation or 2) Contact the WSHRC and allege whistleblower retaliation based on the perception that the employee filed a whistleblower complaint with SAO.
