It said the distribution centers were operated by Schneider Logistics and had over 200 employees. “Unfortunately we know that these types of conditions are not uncommon in the warehouse industry."As with the Amazon.com DC, there appears to be some fire behind this smoke.Last week the California Labor Commissioner said that after an inspection of distribution centers in Riverside County, investigators uncovered numerous labor law violations.

Their work is often hidden from public view and there is constant pressure to work faster, which can lead to abuse. “We will assess all wages owed to the workers and work with the employers to ensure compliance going forward.”“Warehouse workers do some of the most backbreaking jobs in our economy.
