Two Big Customers Protest B of A Moves: Bank of America, the nation’s second-biggest bank, suffered a double blow when two high-profile customers said they were transferring accounts to protest the bank’s policies. The California Labor Federation said it closed an account containing more than $90,000 in union funds to protest the bank’s plans to reduce tellers’ hours. The federation urged its 2 million members to do the same. Separately, the San Francisco Board of Education voted to withdraw some accounts from Bank of America to protest its support for Boy Scouts of America, which the board said discriminated against homosexuals.
