So thank you to all the nonagreement for accepting the mandatory unpaid LOA and 25% paycut. The stock holders thank you.

We can’t retain (good) help with this pay. I guess they think it is going to be better with less pay. Considering days off, shifts, putting up with the aggregation ,don’t think so.

So doesn't this go against our contract of a 40 hour work week. If we agree to this will the company try and lower our hours at contract time, especially if the unions are allowing it now. Also if you took this would you qualify for the 600... — read more

Fleet size and carloadings now getting down to a level where execs can seriously entertain the idea of just letting contractors maintain everything.

If your departments’ performance doesn’t go down during this “RULA” then UP will cut jobs from your department. This is a test. You’re getting paid 25% less. Do not cover or work harder.

I have no f—ing idea, but Union Pacific just cut all the managers pay by 25% and put them on unpaid leave. Here's the link to apply but not everybody at once. https://up.jobs

Call your union rep and let him know you support striking.
