California labor officials fined Amazon $5.9 million for violating a state law aimed at preventing warehouse workers from being pushed to work so quickly that their health and safety are at risk, according to citations issued in May.
It’s the largest fine the California Labor Commissioner’s Office has levied under the Warehouse Quota Law, which went into effect in 2022 and limits quotas for “work that must be performed at a specified speed or the worker suffers discipline,” the commission’s officer said in a news release Tuesday.
