Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants the acting Labor secretary to explain why a website for complaints from Wells Fargo & Co. employees has disappeared, and she has requested an update on the department’s investigation into the bank’s unauthorized-accounts scandal. Warren and seven other senators asked Perez for an investigation after Wells Fargo agreed to pay $185 million to settle investigations by Los Angeles City Atty. “The current administration gave no direction whatsoever regarding Wells Fargo here at the Department of Labor,” Barr said. Warren asked Hugler if the department will “continue all ongoing investigations” into Wells Fargo’s treatment of employees and reinstate the complaint website. If violations were found by the Labor Department, Wells Fargo employees could be provided back pay.
