LOADING ERROR LOADINGCalifornia’s labor commissioner has fined Amazon $5.9 million for allegedly violating the state’s new warehouse safety law. Labor groups and Democrats supported the passage of California’s warehouse safety law, which New York later mimicked with a version of its own. But García-Brower said the Amazon system still violates the law. “The peer-to-peer system that Amazon was using in these two warehouses is exactly the kind of system that the Warehouse Quotas law was put in place to prevent,” she said. The warehouse safety law allows for a $100 penalty for each violation, amounting to nearly $6 million.
