Ocean City eyeing end to unemployment benefits for seasonal workers

http://ifawebnews.com:

Ocean City (Md.) Council members are considering asking the state to eliminate unemployment benefits to seasonal workers, a change that could affect a number of businesses across the state, according to advocates.

The council has until July 2 to present to the Maryland Municipal League, a lobbying organization, what items it would like the Maryland General Assembly to consider in 2011, according to the Daily Times newspaper.

Councilman Joseph Hall told the newspaper halting unemployment benefits for seasonal workers might force employers to raise wages for all seasonal workers.

But Town Attorney Guy Ayres said Deep Creek Lake and other resort areas of Maryland, and Baltimore City might benefit from the change.
