New York is the most dangerous state to be a warehouse worker, with an injury rate 54% higher than the national average.. One in 11 New York State warehouse workers experiences an injury requiring medical attention each year. Despite this crisis, the recently released one-house budget proposals do not include the Warehouse Worker Injury Reduction Act (WWIRA), a bill we have been fighting for more than a year. We need to send a clear message to Governor Hochul, Speaker Carl Heastie, and Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins: End New York State’s warehouse worker injury crisis.
