“A new report from the UC Berkeley Labor Center shows that 25 years after the Army base’s decommissioning, those deals have been largely successful — potentially offering a model for how the planned redevelopment of the Oakland Coliseum can be a boon for the community…The construction phase of the Army base redevelopment generated tens of millions of dollars in wages for Oakland workers, union jobs offered career advancement opportunities for city dwellers, and new hiring and investment practices 'have begun to address the racial injustice and economic loss experienced by West Oakland residents,' according to the report…[Whittington] said other jurisdictions also didn’t have resources like those he could access at the West Oakland Job Resource Center, which was created by the Army base deal. That included skill-building classes and growth opportunities in addition to stable work.” The jobs policies implemented at the Oakland Army Base have made a lasting positive impact for workers like Sadakao Whittington, showing the importance of having community at the bargaining table for development to benefit the community.
