Right to Recall wins in Baltimore; Moving forward in DC

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. Find out more about The Catholic Labor Network here.
