During the testimony of 7 bank CEOs in front of congress this past week, none of them answered Yes to say they will not sabotage efforts or harass employees who want to unionize. All big banks must be unionized for consumer protection and anti-harassment of employees who try to do the right thing.

Fake news. They said they wouldn't "remain neutral", liar. Quit trying to sabotage and harass this forum, thug.
The best pro-unionists can do is emotionally laden arguments to manipulate people into unions. Theee people want power - over you.
Unions do not help people - it is just another layer of control over your life, another money pit, that only benefits union "leadership" at your expense. No matter the down/up votes, which really dont mean sh-t anyways, unions are trash.
Union members get paid a higher wage, have lower healthcare fees and in this day and age can negotiate for WFH.
With the surplus funds from
Getting paid more I would happily pay union dues.
Those saying otherwise 1) don’t know enough or are 2) are wf shills
I dislike many things at wells but unions are not the solution
They would honestly be more of the problem
More bizarre fear mongering trying to cast any pro-union employee as a "low performer", and flattering anyone against them as some kind of Ayn Randian hard worker who will always be compensated fairly, if only they keep their nose down. That raise is just around the next corner, trust me, I'm in management!
We all know how well hard work is rewarded here- forced, fantasy stacked ranking and laughable annual raises. We've seen what it's like at WF without a union- there's nothing left to lose at this point. Who are they kidding about this imaginary egalitarian fantasy Wells Fargo? It's a joke. They're going to outsource outsourceable jobs either way, and continue trying to squeeze every penny and carry out ridiculous RTO and hub strategies, with no concern about bettering your standard of living. You think a company deliberately making their employees' lives miserable to save a buck on severance packages is going to start treating you fairly? Get real.
There is clearly a shill effort on here to fear monger with these bizarre comments but if unions didn't bring benefits to their workers, people wouldn't be clamoring to join them. If management wasn't scared of a union effort succeeding here, there wouldn't be a troll in every thread pretending to be different people saying "they only benefit the lazy...you're not lazy are you????" I mean some mouthbreather below actually claimed that unions are bad because what if they got in bed with the CEO? Helloooo who do you think is already making your work miserable? If that isn't a sign of desperation by WF I don't know what is.
If and when the time comes, I and others I know plan to vote to unionize. Don't let a couple whackos on here gaslight you into thinking there is some grassroots worker movement to fight against unions against their own interest.
My understanding is that if you’re a bottom of the barrel employee the pros are considerable.
You’ll get FMLA level protection so unlimited callouts basically and won’t be held accountable for any performance gaps ever again. High performers will no longer really have any edge over you either as it’s all about seniority. Your pay will never increase much but you likely aren’t someone that it’d increase much for anyways if you’re one of these people.
Your quality of life really won’t increase but working the system will become much easier for you.
I am curious about the pros of unionization.
Do you want 1/3 of your first paycheck to go to union funds that will never serve you? Do you want well over a hundred dollars per month going from your wallet to a union? You already have health care. So you're willing to "pay off" some slugs to try to keep you employed in a layoff? Unions can't guaranty you won't lose your job in a layoff. Spending money for nothing. Oh, and that id--t that works for you and might have been fired at some point would be kept on as long as you if Wells became a union shop. The worst part of a union's history is their ability to keep low level baggers in their jobs all the while only making it seniority as to whether you get promoted or not. Gets very political.
I’m not for unions, but WF needs to find its way out of the weekly scandals. Perhaps teams can confide in the union. For example, our technology team has created so much zombie code, that I’m constantly having to report issues which seldom get resolved.
“Better not join a union guys! What if uhhhh….your job was at the mercy of the inept CEO!”
LOL
How much worse can things get with a union? If the union sides or is in bed with the CEO, then much worse.
If something is bad it needs to be sabotaged. Unionization is bad, so sabotage it.
Unions s_ck

When questioned by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) during a hearing from the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, not one CEO of the 7 biggest U.S. banks in America responded with “yes” when asked if they would remain neutral if their employees tried to unionize.
BROWN: “Will you remain neutral if your employees try to unionize? Mr. Scharf?”
SCHARF: “We believe that we should have a direct relationship
with our employees. No.”
BROWN: “Mr. Moynihan?”
MOYNIHAN: “We will operate for our shareholders, our customers, our employees within what the law allows us to do.”
BROWN: “Mr. Dimon?”
DIMON: “No.”
BROWN: “Ms. Fraser?”
FRASER: “We will not commit to being neutral.”
BROWN: “Mr. Rogers?”
ROGERS: “We will not obstruct any activity but we can't be neutral to the benefits of Truist and what we offer.”
BROWN: “Cecere?”
CECERE: “We will not retaliate, we will continue to expect to be close to our employees but we with help will abide by the law.“
BROWN: “Mr. Demchak in the union town of Pittsburgh. That was a little bit of digging in there.”
DEMCHAK: “No, we wouldn't obstruct. But of course, I'd be in conversations with our customers about it. CS we'd be involved.”
Wow looks like he’s here in the comments too
Speak for yourself. Some of us want to be rewarded for our hard work.
F**k unions. I don't want part of my paycheck going to some criminal.
Just say no to unions
Yes, because union employees would never do anything bad to customers! lol
I know a union that likes to as----t people and take hostages. Not exaggerating. But yeah, "unions care!".
