Squeegee workers in Baltimore: Laws enacted to stop dangerous situations

Baltimore is known as a bustling metropolis. When drivers are stopped at a red light, they sometimes will encounter boys who come up to their windshield and try to clean it for them. After cleaning, they think they’re owed some type of money for their services. If the driver refuses to pay their fees, some start to get aggressive and there have been physical fights between the boys and drivers.

His strategy is to include an initiative called “earn and learn,” where 100 squeegee workers could be paid $250 a month up to a year not to continue with this activity. The teens have to enroll in the training or find transitional employment.
