Freehold NJ Branch Votes 7-0 Yes!!! Now there are 22 union branches!

The Freehold team celebrated their victory after overcoming Wells Fargo's anti-union tactics. They stuck together as a team and voted unanimously to form a union! They knew their managers were being coached by Wells Fargo's hired union busters to spread negative misinformation about unions and were prepared to ignore their flyers and fake expressions of concern. They are proud to send a powerful message of the value of unity and gaining a true voice at work to coworkers around the country by becoming #22!

>> Union Drive at Wells Fargo heats up as employees allege intimidation tactics, Los Angeles Times, Suhauna Hussain, October 17, 2024

After Wells Fargo was mired in a 2013 scandal over employees who opened millions of fake banking accounts, the bank created a new centralized unit to review customer complaints and employees’ allegations of workplace abuses.

Now, however, that team is upended by its own turmoil as its members have accused bank officials of aggressively trying to block a unionization drive and firing employees in retaliation for their efforts to organize.

Roslynn Berkeland, 32, who has worked at Wells Fargo for nine years, including three years in her current role in the conduct management intake department, said the layoffs have left a team that is less experienced and “completely overwhelmed.” On Tuesday she said she had been assigned 16 cases that day, double the number of cases she typically would handle.

“I’m really worried about accuracy and the risk we are taking on,” Berkeland said. “I don’t know who to ask questions to anymore.”
