Recently, workers at an Amazon warehouse in Albany began organizing to address the extremely unsafe working conditions. Employees at the facility are hoping to unionize to gain better wages and protections that adequately reflect the high-pressure work environment. The union vote is set to occur in October; however, Amazon has been aggressively opposing the unionization efforts. Some union-supporters claim the company's tactics have amounted to worker intimidation, but Amazon has denied this.
