Its not in the best interests of that information to be made public. Reporter 49ers executives tried to convince the public and santa clara officials that making details of concert and other nonnfl events at levis stadium public could compromise negotiations for future events. But after nearly three hours of testimony including santa clara taxpayers the citys Stadium Authority voted to give the 49ers 30 days to comply. The citys mayor says some information can be shared but kept private. We have certain aspects. Like we have city personnel information that we dont submit to the public even though were a Public Agency because its of a proprietary nature. We would do the same with this information. Reporter santa clara was concerned that expenses like resodding the field after a concert were being charged to taxpayers but indicated that some details could be blacked out. Whether or not what they can redact id have to ask our attorneys what they can redact and what they cant redact for public records requests. Reporter afterwards taxpayers say the city stood its ground. Were in the heart of silicon valley. If we cant find a way with all the nondisclosure agreements to make sure that what needs to stay private stays private and if someone violates that procedure they get fired, then i dont know what we can do. Reporter the letter goes out tomorrow. The 49ers have 30 days to comply. Its likely the 49ers wont wait that long to pick up the phone. Im Chuck Coppola, nbc bay area news.

Well, tonight we get the inside story. What really happened at wells fargo . Former employees are sharing their stories. They say they got fired for raising concerns about fraud. Our Investigative Unit has been tracking these former employees. Liz wagner joins us. And liz, you have some exclusive new details. Reporter jess, for the first time were getting a clearer picture about the number of people across the country who reached out to a federal Whistleblower Program after they raised red flags about wells fargo. This new information revealing tonight not only did the bank know about widespread complaints, the government did too. And i was right all along. And i did what was right, what i was told to do. Reporter yesenia gutron raised red flags when she noticed something wasnt right at the st. Helena Wells Fargo Branch where she worked as a personal banker. And i think this is intentional. Reporter we first told you last month that the Company Fired her in 2010 after she says she alerted management that other bankers were opening phony customer accounts. I took this very seshsly. Reporter gutron filed a retaliation complaint with oshas whistle ploeer protection program, warning the government six years ago about potential fraud. The agency closed her case when she filed a federal lawsuit, which the court dismissed. Now new data we obtained shows gutron wasnt the only one who contacted osha about wells fargo. Across the country since 2010 at least 65 people submitted retaliation complaints. 21 of them came from employees who worked in the southeast. 15 employees filed complaints in the west. Where oshas Regional Office in San Francisco is less than two miles from wells fargos corporate headquarters. They definitely failed. Reporter attorney Joseph Peretz represents gutron and two other former wells fargo employees who submitted complaints. Osha did not pay any attention to any type of claim of widespread nationwide allegations of fraud and unethical conduct at wells fargo. Reporter its unclear how many osha cases relate to the banks fake accounts scandal. But the agency tells us the majority of the complaints filed, 63 , involved allegations of corporate fraud where Consumer Financial fraud. Some of us were very vocal. Reporter one of the cases crossed sue kamlets desk. The wells fargo case sat in the back of my file cabinet and ultimately was transferred from me back to my supervisor. Reporter kamlet investigated whistleblower complaints for eight years. Nbc bay area confirmed in the wells fargo case briefly assigned to her was filed in 2011 and its still pending today. Im not surprised. Reporter why arent you surprised . Because of the backlog. Reporter according to this september letter from the department of labor, osha continues to investigate at least a handful of complaints. The department says, in some cases the complaints had no merit and the majority of cases have been concluded through settlement or other action. But kamlet points out what she considers to be a problem with settlements. She says investigators would gather evidence in response to claims of wrongdoing but unless enforcement agencies asked to see it oftentimes the information would go nowhere. The company would settle the case, and the evidence that we had gathered would go to the back of a file cabinet. Wheres the part where we communicate this evidence to the enforcement agencies . Reporter did it happen . No. Reporter kamlet says congress tasked osha with protecting whistleblowers from retaliation and furthering the Public Interest by preventing activity like financial fraud that could harm consumers. Osha fired kamlet in january for failing to efficiently resolve her cases. She believes its retaliation for speaking up about problems inside osha. The agency says it cant comment on personnel matters. As we reported last month, now the department of labor is conducting a review of all wells fargo whistleblower cases since 2010 to determine what the facts are and what we can do about them. Do you trust the department of labor to conduct a thorough review of these wells fargo cases . Ive been given no reason to trust the department of labor. Reporter now, the agency didnt respond to repeated requests for comment about that former investigators claims. Wells fargo says it has a no retaliation policy. The company says engaging in retaliatory behavior is grounds for corrective action including termination. Guys . Okay, liz, tha
