Employers at BWI Airport Should be Required to Hire Back Workers Laid Off in Pandemic, Bill Proponents Say
A bill pending in the General Assembly would require employers at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport to rehire workers laid off during the coronavirus pandemic once business recovers, a controversial idea that has won approval in Baltimore and some other cities.
A hearing on the bill will be held Friday in the House of Delegates. Specifically, it would require private-sector employers at the state-owned airport, except for the airlines, to bring back workers in order of seniority as the economy improves.
