Six hundred layoff notices are slated to end up on the desks of Baltimore union leaders next week. 350 of those positions could be spared if the council passes $50 million in new taxes and fees before the end of the month but the union contract requires notice of at least 30 days in advance of possible layoffs.
Even if the new taxes are approved, 250 workers will lose their jobs by July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year.
