MN lawmakers bolster quota protections for warehouse workers

Minnesota lawmakers have passed a bill that would provide more protection for warehouse workers who have to meet productivity quotas, a move aimed at helping employees at companies like Amazon. The protections were included in a broader omnibus bill passed 34-33 on Tuesday evening by the Minnesota Senate. The House passed the bill 70-61. Under the bill, employers are required to provide each warehouse worker with a written description of any quotas. Among other protections, it prohibits employers from firing or taking any adverse actions against workers for failing to meet a quota that has not been disclosed to them.
