ATLANTA, GA — As Georgia continues to be a magnet for warehouses and fulfillment centers, some lawmakers want to ensure workers are protected.

The Georgia Warehouse Workplace Protection Act would curb how much emphasis companies could place on work-speed quotas and would also mandate paid rest breaks, water stations, and ensure warehouses have proper heat and air conditioning.

Democratic Representative Kim Schofield says this is about creating a safe and healthy workplace.

Several other states have moved to put similar laws in place to protect warehouse workers.
