The Warehouse Worker Resource Center is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3), organization founded in 2011 dedicated to improving working conditions in the warehouse industry in Southern California. We focus on education, advocacy and action to change poor working conditions in the largest warehousing hub in the country.

As goods movement and warehousing become a dominant sector of California’s economy, we have seen conditions decline rather than improve. In the Inland Empire, where more than 40% of goods pass through the logistics industry, we have seen our communities bear the brunt of this growth in the form of poor job quality, high asthma rates and congestion.

WWRC organizes groups of workers in the supply chains of key companies like Amazon and Walmart, supporting workers standing for living wages, safe workplaces, secure employment and strong communities. In solidarity with unions, in partnership with the immigrant rights movement, aligned with efforts for criminal justice and the principles of environmental justice, we bring workers together to develop new and effective strategies for organizing in the strategic nodes of the supply chain.

We assist workers dealing with issues of health and safety, wage theft and workers’ compensation when injured. We also serve as a community center for workers, family members and supporters interested in knowing their rights, joining with other workers to share experiences and learn from each other. We are building a movement for workers’ rights in the Inland Empire and throughout Southern California.

Justice HUB

The WWRC anchors the Ontario Justice Center, a co-operative space where eight worker rights, immigrant rights and community organizations have joined together to create a safe community and organizing space in the Inland region.
