Biographical / Historical

East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE) was established in 1999 in Oakland, California, when a collaboration between labor, community, and faith groups won the Oakland Living Wage Ordinance, which boosted wages for service workers. EBASE serves as a resource and advocacy organization that advances "economic, racial, and social justice by building a just economy based on good jobs and healthy communities." EBASE addresses "the root cause of economic injustice by developing strategic alliances among community, labor, and people of faith to build power and create change with lower income workers and communities of color." EBASE has successfully worked with unions in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties and community groups on issues such as fair development, living wages, immigrant rights, and stemming housing displacement.

Skates on the Bay lawsuit

History of Skates on the Bay Campaign

In 2001 RUI One Corp., owner of the restaurant Skates on the Bay, filed a lawsuit against the city of Berkeley to block enforcement of a unique ordinance that would require businesses in the city's Marina Zone to pay their workers a living wage. While many cities around the country had required businesses that had municipal contracts to pay a living wage, Berkeley's law was the first in which a city required a group of businesses beyond those it contracted with to adopt a living wage. RUI One Corp. claimed the ordinance was unfair to businesses in the Marina Zone (which included the Radisson Hotel and His Lordships Restaurant), resulting in increased prices and elimination of part-time employees. The company claimed Berkeley's ordinance was preempted by the state minimum wage laws and federal ERISA statute, which governs employee benefits. A district court dismissed the lawsuit, stating Skates on the Bay had no legal basis to defy the city's ordinance and should be required to pay the higher wages.

Scope and Contents

Folders contain legal and support documents, notes, correspondence, meeting agendas, employee complaints, and newspaper clippings. Includes some material on other companies in the Marina Zone.

History of Cintas Campaign

Cintas, North America's largest uniform and laundry company, was sued in 2003 by workers in Hayward and Los Angeles for violations of those cities' living wage ordinances. Cintas responded to the suits by seeking to overturn those living wage laws. In 2005 an Alameda County judge ordered the company to pay 1.4 million in wages, interest and state penalties. Cintas appealed, arguing that employees at its San Leandro facility were not covered by the Hayward law, but a state appeals court ruled against the company, as did the California Supreme Court.

Pixar Animation Studios Expansion

History of Pixar Animation Studios Expansion Campaign

In 2004 Pixar Animation Studios sought approval from the City of Emeryville to construct three additional buildings and a six-story parking garage within its 21-acre enclave. EBASE announced its objection, stating the Emeryville City Council should not approve the expansion without Pixar adequately addressing, analyzing or mitigating its impact on the city's residents and environment. EBASE insisted that Pixar complete an extensive environmental impact report and sign a community agreement. Pixar's expansion was to be on land where the Castle Group had planned to build 130 affordable housing units. When that plan fell through, the city helped streamline Pixar's purchase of the property. EBASE wanted Pixar to pay to build affordable housing somewhere else. It also wanted Pixar to help pay for job training and do more local hiring. In July 2004 EBASE had collected enough signatures to qualify a referendum of the development approvals given by the Emeryville City Council; however, voters approved Measures T and U and Pixar was granted approval for the expansion.

Port of Oakland

Scope and Contents

The Port of Oakland section of the Campaigns series contains material on two campaigns: Measure I and the Coalition for Clean and Safe Ports (CCSP) push to reduce air pollution and improve job quality at the Port of Oakland. Measure I was adopted by voters in March of 2022, extending Living Wage Laws to tenants of the Port of Oakland. Measure I folders contain reports and city charter ammendment. The CCSP, which EBASE co-convened with 80 organizations, brought together port drivers with environmental, community, labor, faith, and public allies to ensure that the Port and the growing goods movement industry were accountable to the community. Ultimately, the CCSP aimed to secure a comprehensive policy that would shift the financial burden of goods movement and clean trucks onto trucking companies, shippers, and cargo owners. The CCSP folders comprise material on air quality, the Comprehensive Truck Management Program, freight security, job quality, and material on the ports of Seattle, Long Beach and Los Angeles, including a 2010 Congressional hearing. Folders contain reports, surveys, press clippings, DVDs, and CD-ROMS of images of PR material and ordinances.

Putting Oakland to Work 2007

 

Woodfin Hotel

Scope and Contents

The Woodfin Hotel section of the Campaigns series consists of material documenting Measure C, a living wage initiative drafted by EBASE, and the four year fight between hotel workers and Woodfin Hotel over the hotel's noncompliance after the measure passed. After voters approved Measure C the ordinance was challenged by Woodfin as unconstitutional. In September, 2006 workers filed suit in state court to collect the back wages that they were owed under Measure C. In the same month, Woodfin claimed they found problems with social security numbers for undocumented workers who were involved in the campaign to enforce Measure C. In December, 2006 Woodfin attempted to fire the 21 workers for "no-match" social security numbers. The court entered a temporary restraining order that restrained Woodfin from terminating employees based on "no-match" letters and investigated whether the attempt was retaliation. In 2010 Woodfin settled its backpay suit and sold the hotel to Hyatt Hotel Corporation in 2011. Folders contain legal documents, including depositions and filings, correspondence, petitions, political action plans, PR materials, administrative personnel documents, city reports, research material, and ephemera.

General Note

Employee earnings statements and W2 forms were removed.
 

Measure C

Historical Note

Measure C was a private sector zoned living wage for workers in the hotel industry. Along with Woodfin Hotel, other hotels affected were Sheraton Four Points, Marriott Courtyard, and Holiday Inn. Measure C defined a living wage as $9 per hour, with an average wage of $11 per hour. It also included worker retention language, established a workload cap of 5,000 square feet per day for housekeepers, and allowed organizations doing business with hotels the ability to assist employees to file grievances for violation of the law. The success of Measure C resulted in the first private sector zoned Living Wage in the United States.
