Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Union Leaders

They blow my mind

Can you imagine being someone that is actively trying to cost the company that feeds your family, billions of dollars?

Can you imagine being the manager that hired one of these horrible people into the company?

We might as well hire that bud light marketing exec.

Wells Fargo is not making real profit since Charlie came on board. All he is doing is laying off employees, outsourcing jobs to India and buying back shares. Charlie is nothing but a conman who is ruining this company. Sure, there is politics no matter where you go, but the entire Wells Fargo organization is heading in the wrong direction under Charlie. That's what these people are complaining about. Either you are blind or very stupid.

Unions sound like the definition of politics. You say right now are compensated by corporate politics - all this will change is them getting compensated based on union politics. At least when a business is driven by a profit motive, they can award some variable comp based on results.

I used to be against unions. But when I see underperforming incompetent executives like Charlie and TK still making millions of dollars at the expense of laid off (and very competent) employees, that changes everything. Those corrupt executives need to be punished. I am a very result driven professional, who firmly believes every professional should be compensated according to their performance, not by corporate politics.

"If the powers that be that run this company are against something, it’s because it’s bad for them and good for you, the employee."

Exactly!

You want to know why WF hired an exec focused solely on preventing a union?
Because WF is SCARED Ŝ H ! T L É S Ŝ.

Can someone please explain to me how a union would benefit someone making over 150k a year? Someone who doesn’t call in sick or abuse benefits? Or will it sc--w us.

I used to be against unions too until I started working in corporate America. If you work for a faceless, soulless organization like Wells Fargo and are anti-union you are either an overpaid, entitled executive or even worse, a peon like the rest of us that is too stupid to realize you are fighting against your own self-interests. Let me d-mb it down for you, if the powers that be that run this company are against something, it’s because it’s bad for them and good for you, the employee.

If you want to bend over for corporations that earn billions while managing to sc--w over both customers and employees, keep it to yourself. It’s embarrassing.

The sad part is that OP is probably a middling individual contributor who thinks they will be rewarded for their minimal contributions

@gwd+1pAWAsyn. I am working for my family.. my Wells Fargo family. Maybe we should concentrate more on why you feel like institutionalized exploitation in the United States is ok? If someone is going to sc--w you, don’t you want them to buy you dinner first?🤷🏻

PS I’m not an exec. I’m just an individual contributor that actually cares about my performance, my company, my clients, my family, and my future.

You guys who support unions are the bottom feeders of society.

I am usually against unions and I hate unions... but, I will make an exception for Wells Fargo. The corrupt WFC deserves a union.

@OP Can you imagine supporting someone who wants to take ALL your income away (CEO) versus someone who will help you keep that income for a minuscule percentage of it (Union)?

Most of us can.

I was in a union years ago for construction, and saw plenty of waste.

However after seeing how execs have been exploiting their workers all while getting bigger bonuses year after year makes me think they cannot manage their own morals and this is why collective bargaining is needed.
This is also why they are sending more jobs to India, less likely to organize.

7 simple steps to start a union

  1. Talk to your coworkers.

The first step is straightforward: Talk to your coworkers and find out what they think about the workplace.

  1. Find a union and build an organizing committee.

A traditional union—sometimes called a trade union or labor union—will ideally have the staff, resources, and expertise to kickstart the process and represent you in negotiations.

  1. Build support.

Lead organizers put together a list of all the workers at the store so they could make a plan to talk with everyone.

  1. Sign cards, file for recognition, and hold an election.

Once you’ve built enough support to go public, the next step is to sign union cards indicating that you would like to be represented by the union you’re working with for the purposes of collective bargaining. You or your union representative then files the union cards with the NLRB, usually electronically.

  1. Prepare yourselves for union busting and retaliation.

Once management knows you’re organizing, keep an eye out for union busting. Hired firms may train leaders and middle managers to spread misinformation about how unions operate or instill fear in workers through retaliatory tactics.

  1. Form a bargaining committee and negotiate a contract.

Once you’ve won an election, it’s time to actually negotiate with your bosses about what changes you want to see. The bargaining unit—everyone who will be in the union—should first elect a bargaining committee. These rank-and-file workers will be the key group to represent the unit in meetings with management.

  1. Make a plan to maintain momentum.

Prepare yourself for a potentially arduous process. You might spend months organizing, and then many more months negotiating before you reach that coveted contract. The average time it takes for employers and new union workers to finalize their first collective bargaining agreement is 465 days, according to a Bloomberg Law analysis.

Can you imagine being an exec posting such an embarrassing comment? Talk about desperate fear-mongering.

Charlie, go back to bed.
