Amazon said the election will take place between Oct. 12 and 17, though a spokesperson for a federal labor agency said the dates are still being finalized.
The National Labor Relations Board in late August determined employees had met the requirements to hold a union election at the Albany warehouse. Unions are eligible to hold an election after they've collected signatures of support from at least 30% of workers.
Amazon spokesperson Paul Flaningan said the company remains skeptical that there are enough"legitimate signatures" to move forward with an election, but that it supports employees' right"to have their voices heard, and we hope and expect this process allows for that." Union organizer Heather Goodall confirmed an election would be held at the facility next month. Kayla Blado, a spokesperson for the NLRB, said the election dates haven't been finalized by the regional office yet.
