Summary
On February 24, 2015, George Wentworth testified before the Connecticut General Assembly in opposition to three unemployment insurance bills – Proposed Bill 5851, An Act Concerning Unemployment Compensation Reform, Proposed Bill 436, An Act Concerning the Waiting Week and Unemployment Benefits, and Proposed Bill 5864, An Act Concerning Unemployment Compensation and Time-Specific Work Assignments. Each of these bills is intended to reduce unemployment insurance costs for employers but each also imposes unnecessary hardship on the unemployed workers that the program is intended to serve.
