Warehouse Worker Protection Act
The Warehouse Worker Protection Act establishes new protections for warehouse workers by regulating how employers set and monitor work quotas. It requires employers to provide clear written descriptions of quotas and work speed data collection practices to employees, prohibits quotas that interfere with breaks, safety compliance, or workers' rights, and gives workers the right to request their own work speed data and aggregated data for similar employees. The bill creates a new Fairness and Transparency Office within the Department of Labor to oversee enforcement, amends the National Labor Relations Act to protect workers from retaliation, and establishes new OSHA standards for ergonomic protections and medical treatment referrals. These provisions apply to workers at specific warehouse facilities (defined by NAICS codes including 493, 423, 424, 454110, and 492110) who are subject to work quotas. The law aims to increase transparency in workplace monitoring and protect workers from potentially harmful work speed requirements.
