Overview

• Workers contracted by Alliance Ground International at BWI allege inadequate drinking water, rest breaks, shade and heat-stress training during periods of extreme heat.
• The complaint details a reported incident in which employee Matt Schaal was sprayed with feces and urine and, without a change of clothes or a shower, continued handling baggage for hours.
• Employees say AGI failed to provide required bloodborne-pathogen training and access to Hepatitis B vaccinations for those exposed to bodily fluids.
• Additional allegations cite unsafe equipment and vehicles, including malfunctioning emergency brakes, broken seatbelts and limited protective gear such as a single shared face shield.
• MOSH confirmed receipt of the complaint and is processing it, while AGI denies the claims, says no such incidents were reported through company channels and characterizes the union-backed action as pressure for representation.
