This report should serve as an alert to lawmakers to begin reforming policies and procedures in the warehouse industry before innocent workers are hurt or killed on the job, says Los Angeles employment lawyer Eric Grover. Until we crack down on the unfair and unsafe treatment of warehouse workers, big business will continue to take advantage of their hard working employees.

Labor subcontracting and lack of employer accountability have fostered unsafe and unfair working conditions in the Inland warehouse industry, according to a new study released by the University of California, Riverside. In 2010, 114,000 people were hired in warehouses in the Inland Empire, according to the CA Employment Development Department. This workforce is mostly Latino, of which about half are immigrants. Temporary workers who lack benefits and are paid low wages do much of the work.
