We are heartened that the workers in many of DC's hardest hit industries – restaurants, hotels, retail, and entertainment venues – will have the right to return to work when their businesses recover.
Thank you to everyone who fought for these basic protections! #ReturntoWorkDC
#ReturntoWorkDC passes unanimously! This is a huge victory for District workers. That said, the discussions around this bill and amendments it underwent make clear that the Council needs to step up its commitment to working families. Our full statement ⬇️

We need @councilofdc to pass #ReturnToWorkDC that puts working families first for a #JustRecoveryDC. Carving out more workers or imposing other limitations will harm workers - while offering ZERO benefit to businesses and economy. Any such amendment will be scored by

We hope the Council will pass a strong Workers Reinstatement bill and protect workers #ReturntoWorkDC

All hands on deck! We need folks to call their CMs and ask them to stand with workers.
It is disappointing that such a simple, unburdensome request -- that employers first rehire workers who were laid off as a result of COVID -- has generated first and foremost, a debate about *further protecting businesses* at the expense of workers who run them. #ReturntoWorkDC
The DC Council should talk to workers at restaurants and other businesses before they take away their right to return to work by raising the employee number threshold – not just hear from the owners of their businesses. #ReturnToWorkDC
As @ChmnMendelson is laying out, nobody, not restaurants or any other operator has ever explained WHY #returntoworkDC legislation is burdensome. Why are workers at smaller businesses any less deserving of protection? @kenyanmcduffie @brookepintodc

We're watching today's Council breakfast meeting to see if the Council will hold the line and protect worker's right to return to their jobs after the pandemic. #ReturntoWorkDC
Have you called the Council and asked them to protect the right of workers to return to their jobs? If you haven't time is running out to call! Click on the link below and call before 11:30 AM to ensure that your CM's know where you stand #ReturntoWorkDC https://t.co/T3as03fFfg
@councilofdc We hope that you will stand with workers today and resist any attempts to weaken this common sense protection. Workers are counting on you to pass a strong return to work bill. #ReturntoWorkDC
We agree and urge @councilofdc to pass the Displaced Workers Right to Reinstatement and Retention Amendment Act as is. This bill is crucial to ensuring that workers who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic are not left behind when we enter recovery #ReturntoWorkDC
Tomorrow @councilofdc has the chance to ensure that many laid off District workers can get their jobs back after the pandemic by passing the Displaced Workers Right to Reinstatement and Retention Amendment Act of 2020. #ReturntoWorkDC
A truly equitable recovery must include workers all over DC! #ReturntoWorkDC @ChmnMendelson @cmdgrosso @RobertWhite_DC @AnitaBondsDC @tweetelissa @BrianneKNadeau @marycheh @CMBrookePinto @CMBrandonTodd @CM_McDuffie @charlesallen @VinceGrayWard7 @trayonwhite
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused massive, unprecedented strife for workers in the hospitality, entertainment, and service industries. Join us in calling key councilmembers and asking them to support workers right to #ReturntoWorkDC https://t.co/kpHFyMxlLj
“with unemployment benefits running out and federal help at a standstill, passing the Right to Return to Work Bill is truly the bare minimum that D.C. can do to protect its workers” #ReturntoWorkDC
"Workers should not be punished for having been laid off."

Workers in the hardest-hit industries should not be punished for being laid off. #ReturntoWorkDC @ChmnMendelson @cmdgrosso @RobertWhite_DC @AnitaBondsDC @tweetelissa @BrianneKNadeau @marycheh @CMBrookePinto @CMBrandonTodd @CM_McDuffie @charlesallen @VinceGrayWard7 @trayonwhite
@councilofdc please pass a strong bill that includes as many workers as possible. All employers will have to schedule workers when their jobs return. All we ask is that they schedule their previous employees. #ReturntoWorkDC
Tomorrow the DC Council votes on the #ReturnToWorkDC bill that would give workers who were laid off due to COVID the right to be offered their job back when their employer starts rehiring.
Let's not exclude restaurant or retail workers from the law.
Read the 🧵 and speak up! 🗣️
Tomorrow @councilofdc has the chance to ensure that many laid off District workers can get their jobs back after the pandemic by passing the Displaced Workers Right to Reinstatement and Retention Amendment Act of 2020. #ReturntoWorkDC
