Organizing Update

Wells Fargo

A new Bloomberg Law article highlights some of the reasons why Wells Fargo workers are organizing for a voice in their workplace, including the impacts of unrealistic sales goals, unfair wages, and inadequate staffing. The article features workers who are organizing as Wells Fargo United, a campaign with the Committee for Better Banks-CWA. The article also includes comments from financial and labor experts, as well as lawmakers such as Senator Sherrod Brown. As Chair of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Brown has led the charge in the Senate to hold financial institutions like Wells Fargo accountable. “We’re going to keep holding Wells Fargo accountable and defending its workers’ legal right to unionize, including by continuing to hold our annual big bank oversight hearings,” said Brown.
