Asking for a friend.

Everyone continues to post all of those. At this point, if you have enough seniority to still be employed, you should realize that rules, laws, agreements, etc. do not apply to them. Promise whatever they wish, as long as there is no enforcement... — read more

Does anyone have information regarding Warn Act notice? After reading into it, looks like the Warn Act is to provide employees a 60 day notice of termination (furlough). At our shop, we were given the notice and sent on our way. Was anyone given 60... — read more 

Because of PSR Union Pacific lost business, now they too much loco’s and flat cars in storage to handle shipping. In my opinion which means nothing but Union Pacific was the best without PSR, I wonder if they regret it?

How many do you think will get fired or demoted this time? They’re not getting the results they want, so they’re going to keep demoting and promoting until they find the right people.

Omahas next move will be the push for single crew cabs due to the spread of Covid 19. The real question is when?

Looks like a winning combination, UP has acquired more business from the e commerce giant Amazon. On the surface this seems like an uplifting story for employees ,but like they say, "the devil is in the details". Now Im not one for conspiracy... — read more 

They save several lives in the new movie. Once an executive is choking on a chicken bone at the Luby’s all you can eat buffet and a fellow executive saves his life. Another one they have an intervention with an executive that was buying white... — read more

“Covid” cuts. Cost too much to buy face masks and hand sanitizer so we have to cut you guys off. But look at the bid line in December. We’re going to put up 30 jobs for you guys.

@OP+15P9kHQo. 3500 views. Why? Because everybody likes a demoted executive and all the executives are afraid we’re talking about them.

and then a new 9414 is generated to sign off again is that ok

Buyouts are coming is the rumor on the 9th floor.

Gentlemen if Union Pacific offers early retirement packages take it. To get 100% tier 1 at 15-20 yrs service is heaven.

We been having lots overtime and pulling some units out of storage. Any chances layoffs are over and shop will call some us machinist back to work? Need to make some overtime money to recover. Any one hear any rumors on call backs or layoffs done?

Trouble in paradise?

We've had so many. Are they to their 30% yet? We've done our bit.

This has been going around for awhile now, but they are actively considering it. This also allows UP to easily leave a lot of people high and dry. . . no need to layoff. they can just quit.

LMAO. Lost another point. The lowest rated CEO on Glassdoor another year. Zero respect from his employees.
