The California Labor Commissioner's Office has fined Amazon a total of $5.9 million on allegations the company violated a state law by working warehouse employees so hard that their safety was put at risk.
The two citations, which were issued in May, said Amazon.com Services LLC violated the state's Warehouse Quota Law at facilities in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the labor commissioner's office said Tuesday in a press release.
Amazon was fined $1.2 million at a warehouse in Redlands and $4.7 million at another warehouse in Moreno Valley.
