California has fined Amazon a total of $5.9 million, alleging the e-commerce giant worked warehouse employees so hard that it put their safety at risk, officials said Tuesday.The two citations issued in May by the California Labor Commissioner’s Office said Amazon .com Services LLC ran afoul of the state’s Warehouse Quota Law at facilities in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, east of Los Angeles.
At Amazon, individual performance is evaluated over a long period of time, in relation to how the entire site’s team is performing," company spokesperson Maureen Lynch Vogel said in a statement. "Employees can — and are encouraged to — review their performance whenever they wish. They can always talk to a manager if they’re having trouble finding the information."The citations allege that Amazon failed to provide written notice of quotas.
