Organizing Updates Around CWA - Wells Fargo Workers United

Wells Fargo Workers United

Workers at a Wells Fargo branch in Albuquerque, N.M., voted in late December to join CWA’s Wells Fargo Workers United (WFWU), becoming the first-ever Wells Fargo workers to form a union. In an in-person election, bankers, and tellers chose to join WFWU and take the next step towards securing a meaningful voice on the job.

Workers across branches and call centers are organizing with WFWU and the Committee for Better Banks in response to rampant understaffing, low pay, and mismanagement.

“This victory is not just for those of us working at the Albuquerque branch. It's for the customers we serve every day and for workers across Wells Fargo. This stands as a testament to workers in the financial services industry who know we need a collective voice to improve the industry we are integral to,” said Sabrina Perez, a Senior Premier Banker at Wells Fargo’s Albuquerque branch. “Our victory today is the first of many to come. Despite Wells Fargo's aggressive attempts to dissuade us, we are igniting a fire and showing our colleagues across the industry that not only is change possible, it is within reach.”
