Amazon workers at ALB1, the company’s fulfillment center near Albany—which is set to hold a union election this coming Wednesday—reported that a fire broke out in the warehouse last night. 

The fire started late in the evening and lasted around 45 minutes, according to Seth Goldstein, a lawyer for the Amazon Labor Union which ALB1 plans to unionize with. The local fire department was contacted at around 10:54 p.m. Motherboard could not reach the fire department for comment. Goldstein said that night shift workers had been sent home, and that ALB1 would be closed for the following day.
