(SEATTLE, WASHINGTON) - Employees AT Verity Credit Union in Seattle have announced they are forming a union with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) as part of the Committee for Better Banks Project.

The Workers are frustrated by pay inequities and limited opportunities for advancement at the Credit Union and are concerned about possible limits on remote work, CWA Officials said.

Verity Call Center Representative Jessica Ufland told American Banker: "Our whole goal of starting this Union has been to make Verity a better place to work.  If you're going to say that 'people come before the bottom line' is a part of your values, I think it's important that your actions back that up,"

Management has launched an Anti-Union Campaign at the Credit Union, including illegally restricting the distribution of leaflets, CWA Officials said.
