Minnesota House passes limits on warehouse work

(St. Paul, MN)  --  The Minnesota House of Representatives is working to limit quotas that determine work speed in warehouses.

The House passed legislation Monday meant to rein in work speed quotas at Amazon warehouses, which lawmakers say lead to disproportionate injury rates. The legislation would require warehouse operators with more than 250 workers to give each worker notice of any quotas they are measured by.

Workers would not be able to be fired or disciplined for not meeting an undisclosed quota.
