Two former Wells Fargo & Co employees have filed a class action in California seeking $2.6 billion or more for workers who tried to meet aggressive sales quotas without engaging in fraud and were later demoted, forced to resign or fired.
Questions:
1. Over what period of employment will the class action lawsuit cover?
2. What are the accusations of the lawsuit?
3. What does the lawsuit claim that unreasonable quotas caused?
