A hundred Quad City Die Casting workers in Illinois are losing their jobs today, after Wells Fargo Bank refused to continue financing the company. UE’s Leah Fried says according to the National Labor Relations Board, the bank owes the workers about $200,000 in pay and benefits, which it’s refusing to pay.

[Fried]: "So, you know, there's really no justification legal or moral for what they're doing."

UE says it won’t give up until the workers are paid.
