It’s time we fight back corporate greed and stand up for ourselves. We can use our collective voice to demand better working conditions for ourselves and our co-workers! Charlie Scharf and his cronies are never going to listen to us unless we force them too! Charlie gets an 18 percent bonus and we are lucky if we get 2. He has removed our bi-weekly 401k matches to once a year in December. He says he is laying us off for “efficiency reasons” but spending over 550 million dollars to purchase an office building in New York. Work from home accommodations are being stripped away and people are being let go because of bad performance reviews when they have never had one before. Unionizing is the only way we stand a chance to save our jobs and to bring back the stagecoach we all loved! This isn’t Chase this is Wells Fargo! If you would like to unionize your AU or your unit visit the Committee for Better Banks and they will help you unionize your department. Let me remind you all that the only reason we have an 8 hour workday and overtime pay is because of unions. The time is now!

2025 is halfway done, nearly a full year from this post. That contract must be right around the corner?
Already been 9-10 months since first bank “unionized”. The previous union negotiation with that small bank in CA took 1.5 years to ratify. WF will drag it out longer than they did, i’d expect 2026 to have a completed contract.
I just went to the Comittee for Beeter Banks website and whoever made this post is correct. There are 17 branches unionized! Good for the employees that stood up for themselves! Nice work!
I tend to work harder than the average person and my compensation shows that. Why would I want to support lowering my comp?
Contracts are not going to take years and are actually in the works now… with or without a contract layoffs after unionization would could appear as retaliation.
I didn’t think any had a contract yet. Just the prelim vote to start negotiations. Likely no contract for couple years.
See that’s the thing, we don’t realize how much power we have as one collective voice! Whether there is time to unionize or not, simple acts like walkouts for tech could be successful! The only reason this company is successful is because of us! We need to remember that and stop being scared! It is our legal right to unionize. Yes it’s a huge corporation but guess what? This huge corporation has many unionized branches now and is then Only major US bank that is getting unionized and it is because of all of the job cutting/moving overseas, pay inequities, now health insurance law-suites, work from home accommodations being removed …..They are treating us so bad that we are now standing up for ourselves. The board should take note and ask Sharf and friends to take a hike
It's up to 17? That's kind of impressive
Technology is going to have a walkout.
@jdd I've heard of at least one difficult-to-replace tech group that was considering a walkout for a week to highlight how sc--wed they are after the last cuts.
Maybe the market is starting to realize that the only reason Wells makes any money is because the hard working employees collectively earn it, and Shart is S-ing all over the goose laying golden eggs at every single opportunity. It's a matter of time before his failure is complete.
No wonder the stock plummeted 2 and a half points today.
Sigh
Actually it will make a difference. Shart wants to be known as a "turn around CEO", NOT a "so bad they decided to unionize CEO". I actually hate unions, but if it will P off Shart, I support it.
Lol. Keep on keeping on dummies. You could unionize all branches and it won’t make any difference.
We used to have pensions too but they stop that after the 2008 crash and I remember getting either bi weekly or monthly 401k matches. They made the change to yearly matches back in 2021
401k matches were never biweekly at WF. Ever. Maybe at some point in wachovias history, I wouldn't know about that, but not at Wells.
Highly doubt the Feds are gonna consider a walk-out from an already beleaguered organization with a longstanding asset cap an emergency to the level of air traffic control. Any instability would land on the bank’s BCP
Unionizing does not equal communism! Unionizing equals better protections for you and your family. Better raises and better benefits. To those thinking unionizing will get you fired that is just a scare tactic to keep the elite in power and the poor poorer. If you unionize your department you are the voice. You and your coworkers. Your department decides on what raises you want, what protections you want etc. If we do nothing then nothing will change and we can just all sit here wondering when we will get our notice. You only need 50 plus one within your group to vote yes to unionize your department. Then you and your team members decide what you want and the negotiations between you and Wells Fargo begin. All it takes is one voice to make change
Unionize IT and pull the plug on RTO, Offshoring, long hours and stage a complete walkout . If people were inconvenienced by the writers strike, wait till technology walks out.
But then the federal govt may step in as they did with air traffic controllers strike . Good or bad? Who knows .
Unions, lol. Won’t work and will likely speed up your layoff or firing.
Sounds like a good way to get tagged for layoff.
Love to see it, keep up the good work
Back office operations (Risk and IT) as well as call center positions also need to unionize ASAP before Charlie ends up sending it all to Manila and Hyperbad.
I don’t get why these Union folks are trying to negotiate their way out of having jobs.
This queues this bank up to be the first major bank to adopt robo-tellers. "Fargo" will be given a robot.
