Tuff luck no strike. Go back to your miserable no days, long hours craft. You signed up for a railroad lifestyle. Live it or leave it! Simple. Bunch of whiners in here!

I haven't been in the railroad for a long time, but if working in other companies is similar to working at UP, then it would be best for me to try to find a job in another industry. It would be interesting if we had data on how many people left UP... — read more 

Second since June when another guy fell off locomotive.

That's been the main problem at the UP for a very long time. The management doesn't listen to its employees. Why make them do the battery test, when it's obvious they would fail it. It's a great idea that will never happen. That management will... — read more 

Don't let management trolls on here confuse you

It’s official, SMART strike on the 18th at 0001!

The previous company where I worked was also very bad but still had better management. Why UP likes to have such incompetent people in managerial positions we will never know, but I wonder where the managers go after UP? I ask, considering that... — read more 

Before I quit, they always acted like the employee's that do the job, can make it better. So when different and more efficient methods where suggested, the managers, always had a "my way or the highway" attitude. If the managers had any sense of... — read more 

Enjoy your upcoming weekend off! Sad to lose the BMWED support today. Train crews are on our own and we are dying out here...

The problem is that the the high up union reps get paid too well, on your backs. They say they have done all this work (wearing their dress shoes, in your shop), with the carrier, with congress, etc... The ol story goes "pigs get fat, hogs get... — read more 

Even as we die for this company, they do not care about us. We only have each other's backs and even then, many of our so called brothers throw us under the bus and snitch us out to management. RIP to the fallen and condolences to their families. One... — read more 

I know we are going to get lowballed before Sept. 16, 2022. Our union officials will come to terms with UP. Just be happy we all have jobs after this..

Why won't they at least help out the people who work extra board by getting rid of guarantee and also exempting extra board workers from attendance policy and just stack the shyt out of all extra boards. The positive is They pay no guarantee .and... — read more 

The How Does NOT Matter. As most of us know, it is just a slogan from the glass palace. Managers can violate honesty, fairness, integrity, accountability, and compliance with policies without any sort of repercussion. Even when someone turns them in... — read more

Your heads not in the game, worrying about new contract. Bo-m, 30 days on the ground. Be careful out there gentlemen.

Go back to my craft. According to TCU, the agreement recommended 24% raise. Shoot, I'll make alot more money and not be part of the shatt show anymore.

Strike will only make things worse. Maybe even give us less than 4% when said and done. Be careful what we ask for. You may think we get backpay. That backpay will be sucked up by the increase in medical we didn't pay for, for the last 5 yrs. Just a... — read more 

When will this stop at UP?

I hope we reach an agreement soon. Trying to figure out if I have to get a second job to cover my medical. I was told that the max wage increase will not be over 5% in a 2 yr. contract. Basically we would be in the negative due to the increase in... — read more 

The Alaska state rr is hiring. Check the jobs at the state employment office.

There hasn't been enough work for the past few months. I'm not sure if this is an indicator of my future here but if it is and I'm to be laid off, bring it on. With so much toxicity and so little to do, I can think of many better things to do with my... — read more 

As of August 2022 Unionpacific Will and is cutting and abolishing jobs. The ultimate goal is to dissolve all Union employees and Use Contractors. McDonald’s style business plan structure.

I spent a little over a year here and now it's time to leave. I was hoping to gain a lot more experience that would help me get a better job later, but I didn't have the opportunity to upgrade my skillset. Maybe it has to do with me. That is why I... — read more 

The raise we are going to get won't even absorb the cost of insurance. Seems like the board is on the companies side.

With that said alot of jobs will be absorbed by contractors. UP forcasts alot of resignations after the contract is final. The big dogs know what they're doing. They don't care about employees, as long as there is profit for the shareholders.

214 open jobs listed on up.com today.

Any guess what the medical monthly cost will be with the new proposal? Please no hot dog or dead fish comment!

The yard I work in can’t keep the new guys around. You could give some of these guys a 50% pay raise and most I believe would still quit. I hear complaints about the difficulty of the work, weather, walking, climbing, attendance, poor moral... — read more 

22% raise over the contract. Low end of the deal. Back wages, $1,000 for working every year of the contract. Health. 15% of the total cost of the plan every year staring on Jan 23. Figure $500 from $228. On a $40,000 health program that the... — read more 

They're going to agree with a 3.5% raise 2 yr. contract, new rules, attendance policy and a terrible medical plan. If they strike, contractors like rail link g&w will take the jobs.

My experience is that those who complain the most are precisely those who are too lazy to polish their resumes and try to get something better. I can't believe that someone who really tries to find a better job can't get anything better. Please... — read more 

The PEB recommendation is out. The current polls show 94% disapproval with the offer. So after the cooling off period Unions will be going on strike. Enjoy running your trains with zero crews Lance.

If your serious about recalling someone after being furloughed for 2 years. You might want to make it more enticing than a Headquarters job 20 hours from home. Just saying.

UP will follow. Union will agree with a $3/hr. increase.

These constant posts encouraging a strike or to quit, the ones that lack depth and seem repetitive. I think its a manager(s) who are pushing for single man crews. Its the old find a way to turn a loss into a win, business strategy. Inflation... — read more 

After reading all these posts, I hope they don't call me back for the job.
