Georgia Candidate Rick Jackson Hired Undocumented Workers, Comp Claim Filed

Story Summary
A workers' compensation claim filed by a laborer injured at the mansion of Georgia governor candidate Rick Jackson has sparked accusations that he hired undocumented workers. Jackson admitted in depositions that he did not know a supervisor was unauthorized to work. The Georgia Board of Workers' Compensation denied the claim, but the worker's attorney argues the board erred by failing to review Jackson's immigration status checks. An appeal is scheduled for May 14 in Forsyth County Superior Court.
