PROVIDENCE â Under mounting pressure, the state Department of Labor and Training plans to release information next week about the extent of unemployment insurance fraud in Rhode Island.
On Monday, a union official filed a complaint with the attorney generalâs office, challenging DLTâs refusal to say how many state residents and state employees have been victims of unemployment insurance fraud.
