The California Labor Commissioner's Office imposed a $5.9 million fine on Amazon for allegedly violating the state's Warehouse Quota Law at facilities in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The citations accused Amazon of not providing written notice of quotas to warehouse employees, putting their safety at risk. Amazon denies the allegations and has appealed the citations, stating they do not have fixed quotas. The law requires employers to disclose quotas that can result in discipline for not meeting requirements, aiming to prevent injury and uphold workers' rights. The investigation began in 2022 after complaints from warehouse employees, with the Warehouse Worker Resource Center supporting the case. Laws like AB 701 aim to protect workers against dangerous work speeds and unfair quotas, with similar legislation in other states and a warehouse worker protection bill introduced at a federal level. Amazon workers deserve fairness, transparency, and a safe work environment.
