Wells Fargo is the only large US bank with a growing union. Apparently, the firm is interfering with that effort through intimidation tactics including layoffs. That approach is illegal. The message to Charlie Scharf is simple: don't use thug tactics to suppress dissent. Learn to follow rules and manage the firm effectively. Otherwise. Wells Fargo will likely be broken up and Charlie will be fired. Employees now have a voice.

You can bet that the poor leadership in Legal is doing everything they can to thwart unionization. All the execs at this cesspool are corrupt. WIM legal especially. Incompetent scoundrels.
if you try to unionize and get laid off I will shed no tears
This whole unionization effort is a direct reflection of failed management. That's why they hate it.
Exempt roles are included in the unionization effort. The only roles not allowed to unionize is management because they are in charge of hiring firing and raises. My department Conduct Management consisted of hourly and salary positions and we were able to vote and should hear that we unionized successfully this Friday November 1st when they count our votes. Also, yes they tried to lay some of us off a week before our vote to stop our votes being counted a week before our election and contested our votes because they said they shouldn’t be counted since 11 of us were laid off. But the CWA union filed 3 charges against Wells for trying to interfere with our election and our story is now in the L.A Times and Bloomberg Law. Nice try Charlie and friends! We will be heard and you will step down!
Exempt roles should be unionized too.
If the anti-union stance gets airplay strongly enough (regardless of the reality) I can imagine a boycott flight of sympathetic deposits.
That doesn't mean they aren't illegally interfering with unionization efforts.
They were laying off long before the union push. Nice try.
