In the heart of America’s supply chain – San Bernardino, California – hundreds of workers are organizing to change working conditions at Amazon’s Air Freight Fulfillment Center, KSBD. It’s the company’s western region air hub and one of only three air hubs in the nation.

Workers are demanding a $5 increase in pay, improved health and safety standards and an end to retaliation at the warehouse.

KSBD opened in March 2021 amidst community concern and opposition around job quality and air pollution. Amazon promised quality jobs, but has failed to deliver. Since the opening, workers have organized in response to low pay, illness-inducing heat, and brutal working conditions. In addition to a new rest area, workers have also won an increase in pay for night shifts.

These Amazon workers are leading a local movement to demand higher standards from Amazon, the region’s and California’s largest private sector employer.
