House Democrats took action on Wednesday in passing legislation that limits when warehouse employers use production quotas.
The legislation also ensures that:
- Employers must provide quota information upon hiring an employee
- If quotas change, workers must be notified
- Employees cannot be retaliated against for requesting work records
- Quotas cannot be used to inhibit workers from using the restroom or taking an entitled break
Valuing people over profits is always good public policy.
House Democrats also voted Wednesday to make important changes to the Firefighters Cancer Relief Program, including among other things expanding the types of cancers covered to include skin cancer and authorizing workers’ compensation administrative law judges to handle appeals of any denial of benefits.
