The California labor regulator has fined Amazon nearly $6 million for violating the Warehouse Quotas Law, which came into effect in 2022. This law allows employees to request written explanations of productivity quotas and any potential disciplinary action for failing to meet them. The state labor commissioner's office found that Amazon broke the law over 59,000 times at two Southern California warehouses between October and March. Labor commissioner Lilia García-Brower stated that Amazon's system in these warehouses goes against the purpose of the Warehouse Quotas Law. This fine serves as a warning to employers about the importance of ensuring workplace safety and fair treatment of employees in the face of increased productivity demands. It highlights the significance of adhering to labor laws to protect workers' rights and well-being.
