Warehouse Worker Protection Act
HR 8639, the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, requires employers in covered warehouse facilities (including distribution centers, storage facilities, and delivery services) to provide workers with clear written descriptions of any quotas they're subject to, including how performance is measured and monitored. The bill prohibits quotas that interfere with breaks, safety compliance, or anti-discrimination protections, and mandates that employers provide employee work speed data in human-readable formats. It creates new anti-retaliation protections for workers who exercise these rights or file complaints, and establishes a Fairness and Transparency Office within the Department of Labor to oversee implementation. The act also amends the National Labor Relations Act to explicitly prohibit quotas that discourage workers from exercising their labor rights.
