“Our members all have the same big three questions: Who was underpaid, for how long, and when will it be fixed?” said Patrick Moran, president of AFSCME Maryland Council 3. The Department of Budget and Management will conduct a new round of tests to better understand how many workers are affected and how much back pay is owed. The state promises to brief union leaders again in about two weeks.

Union officials say payroll mistakes have been commonplace for years, but the state never acknowledged a systemic problem until now. -Christian Berk
