I went back to work at a call center (tech support) after my maternity leave, and had to redo a 8 week training. In this training, we were told if our call ran past the end of the shift, the working supervisor had to be notified and we would get permission to notify childcare. Three weeks after returning to work, this occurred, but was denied permission to contact my babysitter. I finally got off half an hour late, and my four month old daughter was already at my house, door locked, noone home, for nearly 15 minutes. The next day i spoke with my direct team lead, who told me this happens a lot, it wasn't going to change, and didn't blame me for not putting in a two week notice, and laughed. My claim was denied because i "did not attempt to rectify the situation before quitting." i did not include the conversation with my team lead in my initial claim. I am filing an appeal and am working with a law office in town (or will be hopefully if they have room - non profit org). What are my families chances?

You should have waited until they let you go. Quitting is not a good idea. Yes, you may get It on appeal, but I would have Said "Look, I'm leaving At X-Time, because I have to pick up my kid (or whatever was the case). Then, do it. If they don't like it, they'd let you go, and you'd be almost guaranteed UI. I advise people never to quit. Always let them let you go. Makes things easier.

Hard to say. Often, situations like this hinge on small details. The bottom line is, as the person who quit, you bear the responsibility of explaining the situation.
There are 12 good cause reasons for quitting in WA, and there is generally not much variance beyond that. However, if you are going to have a shot at getting approved, the OAH is your best shot.
Don't miss your appeal date!
