Bill > S4260

This bill, the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, establishes new protections for warehouse workers employed by "covered employers" at "covered facilities" such as warehouses and distribution centers. The key provisions include: - Creating a new Fairness and Transparency Office within the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, which will oversee and enforce the new worker protections. - Requiring covered employers to provide clear written descriptions of any quotas or performance metrics they use to evaluate workers, as well as information on how worker productivity data is collected and used. - Prohibiting quotas that prevent workers from taking legally required breaks, using bathroom facilities, or exercising their rights under labor laws. - Allowing workers to request and receive copies of their own productivity data, as well as aggregated data for their peers. - Providing new anti-retaliation protections for workers who exercise their rights under the law. - Directing OSHA to establish new standards to protect warehouse workers from musculoskeletal disorders and delays in medical treatment for injuries. The bill also amends the National Labor Relations Act to prohibit employers from imposing quotas that discourage workers from exercising their rights. Overall, the legislation aims to address concerns about the working conditions and productivity demands faced by many warehouse employees.
