Now that Gavin Newsome has emerged from the recall vote stronger than ever, Amazon’s position to resist a shackle on its power could come in the form of California’s Warehouse Quota Bill, a bill that will require Amazon to track the daily activity of its workers to assure it was not overworking them, and to also document and assure regulated breaks and lunches and whatnot were faithfully honored.

Excerpt:
California is taking aim at the grievances of some Amazon.com Inc. warehouse employees, who have complained about the pace at which the company requires them to sort packages, injuries and surveillance they face on the job.
