Coalition fights employer “scare tactics” on hazard pay

3/3/2021

"Right now in Annapolis, the business community is ganging up to defeat or water down" the Maryland Essential Workers Protection Act, says Ricarra Jones, Maryland/DC Political Director for 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers-East, part of the Maryland Essential Workers Protection Act (MEWPA) Coalition. “They are saying things like ‘Hazard pay is a reward for frontline workers,’ when the truth is that hazard pay is necessary to offset increased expenses workers have incurred since the start of the pandemic. Don’t allow their scare tactics to be the only input legislators hear, causing them to turn their backs on essential workers.” Click here to send an email to key legislators and help pass the Maryland Essential Workers Protection Act.
