SPLC Attorney Discusses Lawsuit Against Georgia Department Of Labor

The Southern Poverty Law Center has filed a class-action lawsuit against the Georgia Department of Labor.

In the newly filed lawsuit, the SPLC is citing unprocessed unemployment claims and failure to address appeals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Emily Early, the senior supervising staff attorney for the SPLC’s Economic Justice Project, told show host Rose Scott that the lawsuit was not filed to pay all unemployed Georgians.
