Representative Vincent Karchi Fong (R)

The bill establishes a broad array of workplace regulations and legal causes of action specific to the warehousing sector that go far beyond protections available to workers in much more physically challenging and dangerous environments. This, despite the fact that warehouse worksites are already regulated at the federal and state level, and aggrieved employees have extensive employment rights under existing law. Notably, the bill would also overturn Congress’s 2001 prohibition on OSHA ever regulating ergonomics in the workplace and would mandate a new ergonomics standard.
