New York\u2019s State Assembly passed the Warehouse Worker Protection Act (WWPA) on Friday, a bill that would require Amazon and other companies to disclose production quotas to workers, as first reported by CNBC<\/a>. If New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) signs it into law, it would also prevent employees from having to meet quotas that require them to skip lunch or bathroom breaks.<\/p>\n

Just like a similar bill passed in California<\/a> last September, the WWPA states<\/a> that employers will need to provide each warehouse worker with \u201ca written description of each quota to which the employee is subject\u201d when they\u2019re hired (or within 30 days of the bill becoming law). It also bars employers from punishing workers for failing to meet quotas that weren\u2019t disclosed, or that they had to skip breaks to meet. Governor Hochul hasn\u2019t signaled whether she plans to approve the bill or not, CNBC notes. The Verge<\/em> reached out to Amazon with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.<\/p>\n
