Bill Summary

A bill to establish protections for warehouse workers, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, called the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, establishes several key protections for warehouse workers. It requires covered employers to provide detailed information to covered employees about any quotas they are subject to, including how performance is measured and monitored. The bill prohibits certain quota-related practices that could prevent workers from taking breaks or exercising their rights. It also requires covered employers to maintain records of employee work speed data and allow workers to review and correct any inaccuracies. The bill grants the Department of Labor and the Federal Trade Commission enforcement authority, and it amends the National Labor Relations Act to prohibit employers from imposing quotas that discourage workers from exercising their rights. Additionally, the bill directs OSHA to establish new standards to protect warehouse workers from musculoskeletal disorders and delays in medical treatment following workplace injuries or illnesses.
