San Bernardino Airport Communities

Community members organizing for good jobs & clean air at the Amazon expansion of San Bernardino Airport.

[San Bernardino Airport Communities @SBACommunities]

Residents in #SBAirportCommunities are organizing for a new standard of healthy economic development! We demand a legally-enforceable Community Benefits Agreement guaranteeing GOOD JOBS and CLEAN AIR at @Amazon's anticipated air cargo hub development at @SBDAirport

We’re not sure what “Leadership Principle” is on display here—Earn Trust? Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility?—but December 11th will be remembered as the day KSBD’s General Manager turned his back and ran from his own associates

Ladies and gentlemen, we got it

#Amazon’s West Coast region air hub KSBD is a Teamster shop

(2/2) Our demands are simple:

1. Pay us what we’re owed.
2. Prioritize our safety and follow the law. When we work more than 10 hours, give us our third 10 minute rest break required under California law.

KSBD has two weeks to respond. Amazon better have our money!

[KSBD Amazon Teamsters @ieamazonworkers]

(1/2) On Friday morning over 50 workers ar KSBD— Amazon’s largest air hub on the West Coast— demanded answers on behalf of 500 coworkers who know that site leaders have been committing wage theft.

They kept associates working when we should have been on break.

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

@IEAmazonWorkers + @SBACommunities are leading the way to fight back in a region already suffering from Amazon’s polluting, dangerous, and poverty wage standards. (6/7)

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

@SBACommunities was there to support them, even while battling a new plan to develop more warehouses around the airport and displace residents in the process. Meanwhile, @ieamazonworkers is continuing to build worker power! (5/7)

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Community members continued to organize. Once the facility opened, it became KSBD! By the end of 2022, it was home to the largest Amazon worker strike in North America because @ieamazonworkers fights for a living wage & safer working conditions. (4/7)

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

They knocked on 1000s of doors to rally for guaranteed good jobs + clean air at the facility and even set up a picket at a nearby facility on Cyber Monday. Still, Amazon’s developer refused to negotiate with @SBACommunities. Elected officials in power approved the facility. (3/7)

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

In 2019, San Bernardino Airport officials pushed forward a plan to develop a western region air hub for Amazon. Community members, including many Teamsters, living around the airport began organizing as @SBACommunities. (2/7)

THIS WEEK: Community members in the San Bernardino valley are celebrating after officials WITHDREW plans for MASSIVE warehouse developments that would have displaced over 2,000 residents. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
