The end of the year is a busy time for most. So, it comes as no surprise that many missed the major union headline regarding Wells Fargo & Co. at the end of 2023. In late November, the National Labor Relations Board received petitions from bankers, wealth management advisors and tellers at Wells Fargo branches in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Bethel, Alaska. Shortly thereafter, an additional three petitions were filed at branches in Daytona Beach, Florida; Atwater, California; and Wilmington, Delaware.

A sixth branch, located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, just filed with the NLRB last week, and now a seventh has been filed here in Prospect, Connecticut. In all these petitions, the Wells Fargo employees expressed their desire to join Wells Fargo Workers United, an affiliate of the Communications Workers of America.
