Don't get me wrong, I’m glad people are leaving, but at the same time I’m getting more and more depressed because I have a feeling that everyone is leaving while I am constantly failing to find another option. It makes me feel like a loser. I think... — read more

Only desperate UP recruiters not allowed at college recruiting fairs anymore due to UP’s toxic reputation.

Post any information about potential or actual Uion Pacific layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
North Platte named #1 service unit 5 years running.
Congrats team keep it up
Who is more corrupt?
Union Pacific or Pfizer?
I would be ashamed
I'm thinking about how I would feel if I was at the top of a company that is the worst company year after year. Would I be ashamed? Almost everyone would be ashamed. I don't know what those at the top feel like? What do you think? Or maybe they are... — read more
We are compensating their mistakes
Are the employees to blame for cutting a bunch of people to please themselves and investors, so now as punishment we have to work for several people because there is a terrible lack of manpower? Are we here to compensate for their management... — read more
do you think the same company that escorts loyal employees out the front door with security like common criminals during layoffs is worried
about your health? Pass on the vaccine. We are not a family.
How long do you think it will be before Union Pacific starts offering hiring bonuses?
I remember back in 2017 some of the hiring bonuses for the mechanical department were $15,000-$20,000. Some fast food places are offering $1000 in my area. Just wonder if a hiring bonus would encourage someone to join the U.P. even with all of the... — read more
The situation should be taken advantage of
There's a lot of places right now that are paying abnormally high wages to get people in. So leaving the railroad for a different job, really isn't all that bad anymore. I hate to say this, but a railroad wage isn't as high as some think it is. A... — read more
Has Anybody Contacted a Lawyer?
We need to all join together in a lawsuit against UP.
OSHA Covid 19 emergency order
Well get ready to get vaccinated.OSHA has put out an emergency order.Jan 4 is the new cliff date.What say you?
Thoughts ?
So in the event someone does get the vaccine due to loss of employment and becomes unfit to work/ disabled. Through the RRB will you qualify for occupational disability ? You also may want to contact a life insurance provider if you have one to see... — read more
What a joke....
If you really appreciate and value your employees, keep your $hitty hotdog and give them a decent contract with squirt of respect.
Medical exemption
Mine is denied. I wonder what medical conditions one needs to have in order to get their medical exemption approved?
Dragging out vax to reduce service reductions
A step in the right direction. UP says Dec 8 is not a cliff. Only because they know and can see what’s about to happen. Thousands would be off at one time! They can’t get furloughs to come back or even hire new people in mechanical department at... — read more
Anymore layoffs?
What do you think Lance will be for Halloween?
I'm looking forward to a year or two with no layoffs
If everybody who claims they'll leave for this or that reason does walk away, we're good for a while.
Divided
Look what the vaccine mandate has caused. Diversity among ourselves. Why cant we go back to hating the company like the good old days.
Fritz vs Buffett
So one CEO has decided to force his workforce to be vaccinated and the other despite a White house mandate has decided not to comply at least for now. I know it's easy to determine who's correct if you look at each individuals record but maybe Mr... — read more
We Can’t strike but we can refuse to provide vax card and info.
Clearly striking doesn’t seem to ever happen on the railroad anymore. But what if we all legally stood together and refused to provide our vaccine info? If you believe the vaccine is right or not we can all agree it is wrong for them to make a... — read more
Religious exemption denied
My exemption was denied, I guess I am getting the shot to keep my job. I have my family to think of first. Has anyone actually gotten an exemption approved?
10th anniversary
I’ve been here for less than two years, and I feel like I’ve spent 20 years here and can’t wait to go. Every day I hope to get an offer. I would like to know what is it that makes someone spend a decade and more at UP? I can’t believe that someone... — read more
Religious exemptions
Anyone else experiencing extraordinarily longer wait for response from review than the "2 business days" with no further communication? Who wants to bet they'll ignore them until its past all 3 vaccine dates and say oh so sorry but you've been denied... — read more
Google “Moderna halted”
But full steam ahead at UP.
The work slow down at the L.A. port is working
Keep up the good work! Sooner or later the media will have to yell the truth why the cargo ships are not docking.

Fritz and his Snow Leopard
A person who attended a Fritz lunchbox talk or whatever the he-l he calls it shared that he spent some time bragging about how he paid for the rights to name a snow leopard at the Henry Doorly Zoo. In fact, he can tell them to bring the snow leopard... — read more
Standard of Work
The company will have you believe that "Standard of Work" is to prevent injuries and its good to have a way for everyone to know how to do something. This use to be call an apprenticeship. The only reason the company wants a detailed description of... — read more

God bless the person who lowered attendance points
Too bad it only lasted a short time I really liked the 14 day credit .I only wish it would have been something like 6 points instead of 4 .I guess omaha doesn't realize we dont want to be at work all the time we want some kind of personal time off . — read more
