BOSTON, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters from across Massachusetts will testify at the state house tomorrow to demand lawmakers enact two critical bills that will improve workplace safety.

H.2103/S.1307 will protect warehouse workers from unreasonable production quotas and H. 3995/S.1355 will protect workers from exposure to extreme temperatures.

The hearing is in the Massachusetts General Court's Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development. Testimony will be immediately followed by a question-and-answer session with members of the committee and a worker delegation.

Teamsters are pushing for similar legislation across the country to enact the Worker Protection Package, a series of state-level bills that protect employee safety, union jobs, and workplace democracy. California, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, and Washington have passed Teamsters-supported legislation to protect warehouse workers from unsafe production quotas. California, Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington have Teamsters-backed occupational standards for extreme temperature exposure.
