Debate over unemployment insurance continues

It may be next month before the debate over Georgia’s move not to allow seasonal workers to qualify for unemployment insurance is resolved.

The U.S. Department of Labor has given Georgia’s Labor Department until September 2^nd to respond to the federal decision, which asked Georgia to “cease administering this regulatory and policy change immediately”. Georgia’s Labor Commissioner intends to fight the decision.

Everton Daswell is waiting on the decision. He works for First Transit. The private company operates campus shuttle service for Kennesaw State University. Daswell has worked for the company for the last 5 years.
