The Right to Recall movement is gaining momentum in the DMV, reports The Catholic Labor Network in its latest newsletter. “The movement demands that employers reopening after a pandemic closure recall their furloughed employees instead of hiring low-cost replacements, a special problem in the hotel and restaurant industry,” the Network reported. “In Baltimore, the movement hit a roadblock when outgoing Mayor Bernard Young – spurning an appeal from representatives of nine Catholic parishes across the city – vetoed a ‘right to recall’ bill sent to him by the Baltimore City Council. Happily, Monday night the Baltimore City Council voted 10-4 to override his veto and protect the futures of thousands of hospitality workers in Charm City.” The DC bill comes up for s final vote next week; click here to tell councilmembers to pass a strong Right to Return to Work bill.
