PSR
The entire idea behind the workforce in relation to PSR is to put the people closest to the work in the decision making process. When Vena is back on board, lower and middle management should be concerned.
CEO
War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength Hedge Fund is an Activist
Fritz at the STB hearings
Does anyone have a link to the video?
The next CEO better show some respect to North Platte. Lance didn’t respect our work or threats of a strike. And that’s why they fired him.
North Platte has the #1 safety record across the UP railroad and it’s not even close. We expect hopeful CEO potential candidates to come to North Platte and meet with union leadership and we’ll make a recommendation who would accept to lead us. — read more
UP has fired its CEO and is moving full steam ahead with plans to relocate headquarters from Omaha to San Francisco.
Expect the new CEO to be from the Bay Area.
If not Vena, then who?
I definitely don’t want to see Vena get the position. But I’m curious to know who everyone would like to see to replace Fritz instead. Gerehinger would have my vote. Who would you vote for?
Coward of the county Fritz folded like a cheap suitcase
Get the he-l off my railroad pretty boy
I'm positively surprised
I have to say, I didn't think I'd see the day when Fritz would finally be seen for the fraud he is and get removed from UP. Not only that but to see the stock price go up significantly after he stepped down is charry on top of the already delicious... — read more
Looks like the shareholders want Vena to replace Fritz

New York Hedge Fund axes Fritz
Looks like the unseen Hand of New York is upset at Fritz. (Maybe at allowing sick days) A new sock puppet in a suit to replace him is already in the works.
UP’s slogan is building America, but they hired a Canadian named Vena to come in and gut the company for the activist shareholders to sell.
Everyone part of PSR needs to apologize to the town of Palestine, Ohio for what they did.
Paid sick leave
Congrats to the two unions and 2100 employees that got awarded sick time, hopefully the trend continues, it’s about time.
Toxic train disaster in Ohio, but UP thinks one man crews are good idea.
What a bunch of goons. You don’t care about anybody!!!
North Platte in talks to strike on March 25 to fight against increasing layoffs and unsafe work conditions
More info to come. Talk to your local union leader for more info.
Palestine
Any word on the future of Palestine car shop? Hadn’t heard anything about it in a while.
Sick pay
From cnbc.com about CSX begins having paid sick days. Senators told other rr to offer sick pay or face hearings before Senate.
To all my brothers and sisters in North Platte, thank you for making us the safest service unit 9 years in a row officially as of today.
Yeah we’ve had some frustrating layoffs but through it all we could look to the man or women to our left or our right and know they had our back. We are dedicated to safety and are the envy of the entire railroad. Thank you North Platte!!!!!!! — read more
Customers are Hostages
The customers are held hostage because of poor rr delivery quality. Need to regulate or open the rrr to competition.
Total Safety Culture is no more. But not to worry all the former TSC fulltime staff are now managers.
No change really they always wanted to be managers and now they are. Polo and slacks
WOW!! $40,000-$50,000 hiring bonuses for train crew at several locations on the UP website.
I wonder what someone thinks when they see a hiring bonus like that? Do they think it's a good company with lots of opportunities in a growing industry, or a he-l ho-e with no work life balance that can't retain good people. Most of us on the inside... — read more
Your opinion matters
Anybody watch Up online about the Foster Farms report .The CEO looked both nervous and mad when doing his talk . What do you think about it.?
Winnemuca sub
Read they want to suspend signals on part of the Winnemuca sub in Nevada . Dirt blown in so bad in ballast it’s causing false signals and lots of train recrews. Lack of undercutting to clean sand out. Anybody experienced the trouble there?
Interesting
Promotions were announced in our dept. All but one are male employees. Almost all the titles contain the word manager. The female employee was not promoted to a manager. Very interesting how that works out.
