Daytona Wells Fargo unionization effort could spread statewide

Employees at a Wells Fargo branch in Daytona Beach are looking to unionize in a move that, if successful, could lead to further unionization efforts across the state.

The employees filed for a union election Wednesday and sent a letter to Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf and management informing them of the decision. A press release from the Committee for Better Banks says that in the letter employees shared “concerns with understaffing, a lack of compensation and the importance of having a collective voice.”

The petition to the National Labor Relations Board says the five employees working at 1302 W. International Speedway Blvd. hope to join the Communications Workers of America’s Wells Fargo Workers United.
