MD Dept of Labor wage claim info: https://www.dllr.state.md.us/labor/wagepay/wpremedies.shtml

was your friend promised payment for the work performed? it was it on a "trial" basis and he thought it he did well he would get a job? was the "EC" even someone in a position at the restaurant to hire people? or was he just a dude talking big on a side job making promises and scanning your friend?

surely there is security camera footage of this.

This sounds awful. It’s also worth noting that the story is based on the account of 1 anonymous witness.

That sucks, but you're a good friend. Hope your buddy can get back on his feet

It is indeed still something that happens. I had to do one too for my last job. If it's something that only takes an hour or two, I don't think it's that bad. But anything more, one should be paid for.

God, I miss this place. Haven't been there in over 20yrs. Good times.

I actually didn't know this was an option. Thank you!

I figured. Until the Sun article it wasn't clear that CleanHarbors was doing the work.

They probably have a discharge permit for the sanitary sewer which lists the allowable limits of their effluent. The only thing special about this is the source of the contaminated water.

I still think of Bug as a kid, unbelievable. Hadn't seen him in years and meant to go check out his new gym. Fucking sad, I hate his city sometimes.

I know plenty of white collar employers that make job candidates complete large sample work products as part of the hiring process which they are not paid for, but can often take multiple days to complete.

>Wednesday’s incident is one of the deadlier work zone crashes across the U.S. and in Maryland between 1980 and 2020, according to a Banner analysis of Fatality Analysis Reporting System data maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In Maryland alone during that time period, there were only two crashes that resulted in more than six fatalities. Nationally, there were fewer than 400 crashes that deadly.

9 hour stage? jesus christ longest i’ll stage before i require payment is 4 hours. buddy was probably used as a placeholder till the EC friend was able to actually start working.

Restaurant stages and lengthy unpaid trial shifts are both illegal assuming he cooked for customers. He should ask to be paid and mention this when he does so.

This is a common practice with these shady business owners in Baltimore. I’ve worked in hospitality in the city since I was 19. And it’s happened to me getting ghosted for a server and bartender job after being confirmed hired. It’s sucks but MD is “at-will”.

Yeah its clean harbors. And as I said above I'm not flat out against this I just want assurances that what the city gets for treatment and release into the environment is something they can handle. We don't have a great track record, especially in recent years with massive issues that have already hurt our waterways. If we end up getting anything more than near potable water I have concerns with what we dump back out.

They do this all the time with all kinds of contaminated water at that facility.

Oh, that’s ok! I would expect the same. Really surprised that Magdalena operates this way.

This is a private plant that will treat the wastewater then discharge cleaned water into Baltimores sewer system. They do is everyday with all kinds of contaminated water.

Oh. I’m sorry if the name was posted I’m distracted today. That just sounds like some shady stuff Atlas would pull.
