One of the nation's largest labor groups is accusing Wells Fargo of trying to deter employees at the financial giant from forming a union.
The Communication Workers of America filed two charges against Wells Fargo this week, alleging that managers threatened and disciplined workers for supporting the organizing effort, which is illegal under federal law. According to one person involved in the drive to unionize Wells Fargo, the country's fourth-largest bank, a worker in a Utah call center was disciplined for handing out flyers about the union effort in the center's break room.
A Wells Fargo manager told the employee to stop distributing the flyers and said the person's right to work from home could be revoked if the individual refused to comply, the organizer told CBS MoneyWatch, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid potential retaliation by the company.

Min Aung Hlaing endorsed Mr. Trump's false claim that the 2020 U.S. election was stolen, and thanked him for shutting down funding for U.S.-backed media outlets that have long provided independent coverage of conflict-wracked Myanmar.

After years of unsuccessful attempts to finance and build a public alarm network that would warn residents of Kerr County, Texas, about dangerous flooding, officials in the region, nicknamed "flash flood alley," were going to start developing a centralized flood monitoring system this summer to help leaders and emergency managers plan ahead.
