Revive Oakland
Contact: Kate O'Hara at kate@workingeastbay.org
EBASE convenes Revive Oakland, a community-labor-faith coalition of 30 organizations and leaders working to secure a community jobs agreement for the redevelopment project. The Coalition seeks an enforceable agreement with the City, Port, and developer to guarantee that:
* The community benefits from the new jobs in construction and warehousing.
* Half of the jobs will be for Oakland residents from neighborhoods most affected by the development.
* Stronger training will help local residents access and retain these jobs.
* New policies will remove barriers to employment of formerly incarcerated adults.
* All jobs will meet the existing Port and City living wage.
* The City and Port of Oakland will restrict the use of temp agencies that undercut responsible businesses.
