The group writing to the head of Santander Group, Botin, asked that the workers in Boston are given the right to form their union and that Sovereign Bank stops the intimidation and firings of workers immediately.



The Brazilian Women's Group (BWG) supports the concerns of employees:

  • No raises in over 2 years and no longer matching 401 K Contributions, many of the workers can no longer afford the health coverage the bank offers.
  • Tellers including some of BWG's own members have been cut from full time to part time positions and some tellers must travel long distances to keep their jobs.
  • Many of the workers with hours being cut are still doing the work to complete their responsibilities due to the elimination of hours and co workers resulting in wage and hour violations.
