Union-related charge against Wells Fargo dismissed

The National Labor Relations Board Dismisses Unfair Labor Practice Charge Against Wells Fargo

The National Labor Relations Board has href=”https://www.nlrb.gov/case/20-CA-369311″>dismissed an unfair labor practice charge accusing Wells Fargo of firing five employees who had promoted union efforts at the bank.

NLRB Finds Insufficient Evidence

The NLRB found “insufficient evidence” to establish a violation of the National Labor
Relations Act in regard to the displacement of members of the bank’s conduct management intake
team, according to href=”https://www.bankingdive.com/news/union-related-charge-against-wells-fargo-dismissed/812843/”>Banking
Dive.

Unionization Efforts at Wells Fargo

The team, which is responsible for intake, research, and documentation of external and internal
allegations pertaining to the company,
href=”https://www.bankingdive.com/news/non-branch-wells-fargo-workers-vote-unionize/735420/”>voted to unionize in December 2024. Ahead of that vote, bank management allegedly discouraged workers from continuing their
union campaign and laid off 11 workers, according to union representatives.

Current Status and Allegations

The Communications Workers of America, Wells Fargo Workers United’s parent organization, filed a ULP
against the bank but
href=”https://www.nlrb.gov/case/18-CA-351986″>withdrew it last year.

Allegations of Union Busting

Union representatives have long accused the bank of union busting. Last summer, Stan Sherrill, Wells
Fargo’s head of labor relations,
href=”https://www.bankingdive.com/news/wells-fargo-workers-allege-union-busting-charlotte/753097/”>allegedly visited branches with ongoing union campaigns and said disparaging things about the union.

Current Developments

Wells Fargo is the only major bank with a collective bargaining push. While href=”https://www.bankingdive.com/news/wells-fargo-location-connecticut-votes-against-unionizing/809119/”>more than two dozen branches have voted to unionize since December 2023, no location has yet ratified a contract.

Wells declined to comment further on the dismissed ULP charge. WFWU did not provide comment on the
matter by press time.
