A new law in New York aims to protect warehouse workers from possibly unlawful quotas.
A new law in New York will require companies that operate distribution centers to be more transparent about their work requirements, aiming to protect warehouse workers from possibly unlawful quotas.
Gov. Kathy Hochul last week signed the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, which is modeled after a similar, first-in-the-nation law signed in California last year. The New York law calls on companies that employ warehouse workers directly or indirectly, such as Amazon.com Inc. AMZN and United Parcel Service Inc. UPS , to provide those workers with a written description of quotas to which they are subject.
“By bringing the Warehouse Worker Protection Act across the finish line, we have made sure that corporations like Amazon and UPS can’t wring all the profits they can out of their employees, leaving the workers to deal with their injuries,” State Sen. Jessica Ramos, author of the senate version of the bill, said in a statement. “Every warehouse worker has a community relying on them, relying on their ability to come home from work whole.
