Wells Fargo Makes History as First Major US Bank with Unionized Branch

Employees at a Wells Fargo bank in New Mexico have voted to unionize, marking the first attempt by workers at a major U.S. bank to organize in the modern era. The move comes amidst a wave of unionization efforts across various industries, with workers at Starbucks, Apple stores, and Amazon warehouses also seeking to organize. The Wells Fargo employees cite issues such as understaffing, low pay, and mismanagement as reasons for unionizing. This development reflects a growing momentum for organized labor to expand into sectors that have not traditionally been represented by unions.
