"Despite our several attempts, by phone and email, to schedule such a meeting, your office's response has been radio silence," said the letter, signed by the union's president, Randi Weingarten. "We can only assume," the letter added, "that the NRA business is more valuable to you than students and their educators are." .... The teachers union is also putting pressure on its pension managers, who oversee $3 trillion of teacher retirement savings, to push fund companies to shed gun-maker stocks, offer funds that specifically exclude gun-related investments or drop investment managers that refuse.

There are at least 100 million gun owners in America. There are 3.2 million teachers.
Gun owners have money. Teachers are reputed to be poorly paid.
Wells Fargo is a bank.

14 million Americans “consider themselves” NRA members. The actual rolls show around 5 million.
Teachers that are union members count 2.5 million.
For extra fun, most of those are members at gunpoint and have no choice. And many of them are gun owners.

If WF had a promotional program going with the teacher’s union, union members were probably getting some sort of mortgage process bennie...lower rate, discount closing costs, lower qualification parameters, etc. So, the union is eliminating this bennie for their members?

"representing 1.7 million workers, ..." I surmise that a small number of union bosses, likely members of the pro-choice Democratic Party, made this decision. Correction welcome.

Well, Wells Fargo may be a $hit bank, but at least they stand up for the 2A, so they will continue to be our $hit bank. We’ve tried unsuccessfully to get away from WF on three separate occasions only to have WF buy the new bank to which we moved.
