More city jobs are on the way thanks to Mayor Brandon Scott’s latest move while in office. In a Press Release published yesterday, Scott has announced that his office is removing pre-employment Alcohol and Drug Screening for non-safety sensitive jobs.
“We want the best and brightest candidates to help us provide efficient and effective City services to our residents. Frankly, the outdated and costly pre-employment drug and alcohol screenings only served to block qualified and passionate residents from obtaining employment with the City. This policy disproportionately harmed the prospects of talented Black and Brown job candidates. I am grateful that we are making this change now so that we can continue to improve local government operations and better serve the people of Baltimore.”
