At the Headquarters. From a reliable source in the building. I was let go in 2017, with the 500. People left are under so much stress just wondering from day to day about their jobs. I think maybe I was the lucky one. At least I got a package.

Look at all these rumors on this page! How many of these predictions have come true!? We as Union Pacific Employees need to coach each other up not bring people down with all these false rumors. Have the Curage to Care and pat each other on the back... — read more 

Looks like more Lies from UP. No specials agents lost jobs today and not much of any layoffs can be confirmed anywhere. Scare tactics once again.

It's a sad day today in Green River as eight young men informed that they no longer have a job. The UP is not what it used to be. Used to be about the unity of the workers with the company. Now it's the unity of the company with the shareholders.

Does anyone have some real information on any layoffs today? I am asking for real information, not people joking or speculating please. Please respect those that may be having a life changing moment that they are not asking for.

The BN’s as of 1/11/19 is at 251,852 carloads!! Looks like we’ve got the next New England patriots ... the railroad is responsible for hauling freight just as much as it is for making money !!!

It seems there would be jobs opening up at other railroads, Class 1s or short-lines, but I don't see it. Any information?

Jim Young is rolling over in his grave with what Lance and the board have done to this company.

Office services has 200 bankers-boxes in a pile in the mailroom. RMCC organizing resources for Tue/Wed to assist with walk outs of released associates. It’s almost go time. Prepare for anything.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Maybe changes are warranted to an extent. That is called evolving. The upper mggt does not care about their employees. The wreckage from the fatalities that occurred at Granite Wy in October is still sitting along the tracks. Why?? They pick up and... — read more
