High temperatures are especially grueling for 500 of the roughly 1,400 employees who work outside on the tarmac of San Bernardino International Airport where the facility is located.
, a nonprofit seeking to improve working conditions in Southern California’s warehouse industry, said employees at Amazon’s West Coast Air Freight Fulfillment Center raised concerns with management over the summer and crafted petitions calling for change.A dozen workers at the 658,500-square-foot center , took thermometers to work for seven days over the summer to document temperatures inside and outside the facilities that they claim were well above Amazon’s temperature readings.
At least 500 of the roughly 1,400 employees at the facility work outside on the tarmac of San Bernardino International Airport where KSBD is located. And others laboring inside cramped road trailers and large air-freight containers often work with little or no ventilation, employees said.Representatives with Amazon could not be reached for comment Friday. But the company did make some changes as a result of the workers’ complaints.
Housed on the former Norton Airforce Base, KSBD opened in March 2021. It operates about 14 daily flights that move products in and out of the 24-hour facility. Workers process prepackaged merchandise that’s trucked or flown in from other Amazon facilities and distributed to markets across the country.
