U.S. Dept. of Labor quietly takes down their Wells Fargo complaint webpageSen. Warren busts them

The United States Department of Labor (DOL) seems to have quietly taken down its website page for Wells Fargo’s employee complaints. As of this moment, it instead gives you this. Senator Elizabeth Warren says she went to check up on where the Department of Labor was in its investigations into Wells Fargo’s fraudulent practices and business environment, and couldn’t find the Wells Fargo page. Sen. Warren sent a letter to the DOL for an update on the department’s status in regards to Wells Fargo.

“I am concerned that the Department of Labor has removed the website where Wells Fargo’s employees who were victims of the company’s fraudulent actions could file labor complaints or report illegal activity,” Warren wrote to acting Labor secretary Edward Hugler in the letter dated Thursday.

In September, the Labor Department said it started an investigation into Wells Fargo after the lender settled regulators’ claims that it created legions of unauthorized accounts for customers to reach sales targets. The complaint website was set up after Warren and a group of Democratic lawmakers asked the agency to look into whether the company violated wage and overtime rules while pushing branch workers to meet quotas.
