The Canadian Truckers

It is wonderful to see their power of unity. Imagine if the railroad unions showed the same unity and did a spontaneous sick out or walkout in protest of the cr-p work conditions, pay, poor treatment, and mandatory vax. Sadly it will never... — read more

Carmen

It will soon be a craft of the past. Replaced with utility workers who will do most of the yard duties.. Bnsf did it and the cost reduction is significant. Work more with less.

I don't want to worry about something I can't change

I find this place great for venting, however, all these complaints will not change the situation at UP. This company has never cared for its employees and we should not expect it to suddenly start caring for us now. What I can change is the company I... — read more

Lost car reports

Remember the lost car report? They used to offer beef steaks and other goodies to find them. Wonder what happened to that program. ?

I still find that incomprehensible

Can someone please explain to me, because I really don't understand, how a company can value those who are lazy and do sloppy work more than people who are totally dedicated to their work and work to exhaustion every day? What's the catch?

Employee Recognition is Back!

Oh boy! I don’t know about you, but I could use the recognition of a decent contract the would make it worth coming to work for this shithole of a company! Trinkets are great and everything but I’ve thrown everything in my house that has Uprr on it... — read more

Family and friends will see you as a stranger

This is what I say to everyone who intends to apply to UP - you will become a stranger to your friends and family because work-life balance will be almost non-existent. At least that's how it is now, but I believe that those who have been working... — read more

What do they criticize you for the most?

I found the thread below interesting where someone says that they've been getting criticized more than usual lately. I have been criticized since the day one here. It’s the UP way to squeeze people to the max.
