Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Strike/Walk Out?

I’m wondering if anyone currently working for Wells Fargo has considered doing a strike/walk out for better pay/improving working conditions?
It’s probably naive to think it would actually get them to care about their employees, but I am wondering if it isn’t worth it to send a message. Even if it is just a one day strike so people aren’t as worried about losing their jobs?

(note: it would probably also put them in the position of breaking some labor laws since they just can’t help themselves)

I don’t understand how anyone doesn’t understand this is not a WF issue. It’s a government issue. Our government is working hard to eliminate the middle class. At some point the United States of America will only have elite/wealthy and poor.

Unions had a purpose back in the day. But, they are just as corrupt as the government.

The only solution is ALL Americans stop drinking the race baiting kool-aid and unite. If we don’t, it’s only going to continue to get worse.

Yes and no. Strikes are concerted activity whether you are part of a union or not. Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act states in part, “Employees shall have the right. . . to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.” Strikes are included among the concerted activities protected for employees by this section. And that section does not require the employees to be in a union.

The difference between a union strike or a non-union strike is whether the company can permanently replace the strikers. If you are in a union, they can’t. If you aren’t, like us, then they can - however, if your position is still open when the strike ends, you are entitled to have it back and if they replace you, and a similar position is open or opens shortly after, they have to recall you for your job if you don’t already have another one.

You have no protection against retribution when you strike without a union.

I would strike just to protest TK as Head of Technology. Who let this cloudy ditz in through the door? She is in India to figure out how many more seats they can fill with US jobs.
