Wells Fargo fires employee for 1972 shoplifting conviction! The banksters can kiss my ass!

94. I haven't "sided" with banks or corporations here. I have pointed out repeatedly what the law says.

I expect EVERYONE, including banks, corporations, and individuals, to abide by the law.

This lady worked in customer service answering calls, no money touched her hands, yet people are co-signing the banks decisions?

The law that applies in this situation makes no distinction between positions that involve handling cash and those that do not.

Here it is again. The term "Corporation" refers to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
