I will be making more than I would working for UP. I do not want to undermine my union brothers, but they did not stand by me so I have no choice. Divide and conquer works.

Has anyone else noticed that employee survey questions are beginning to show up on this site more frequently? Is it possible that UP HR is monitoring this site and trying to poll employees here? BTW, UP CEO approval rating is down to 13% according to... — read more 

New CMO doesn’t believe in overhauls. “Why would I spend a million dollars to rebuild a locomotive when I can buy a brand new one for 3 million”. Straight from his mouth at the town hall meeting in NLR. Jenks shop is doomed.

Word around the crystal palace is they are reducing the number of managers from 5 to 2, and the ones there now may not be there for long.

I am confident most of the replies here will be negative, but I am curious to see if there are people who actually have something positive to say.

I can’t verify the rumor but I’ve been hearing it for couple weeks now. Can anyone speak to this?

Does anyone have an actual number of how many people have been cut so far from these devils ?

UP has always been big on gestures and public relations. The reasons why are obvious. Considering the sanguinary, exploitative, and avaricious history of the railroads (especially UP), complete with genocide, indentured labor, and the violent... — read more

Thank you for destroying our lives. Greed is all that drives you. Don't ever guess you will have enough until everyone is out of a job. Remember the grunts are the ones keeping this country alive not the rich.

Don't forget to take the survey and let them know how great it is. 16th generation railroad foamer here (sarcasam)

Almost 50 furloughed today.

For those unaware today is National Leave Work Early Day. Tie your train down in a safe place and call for a limo. You earned it. #LeaveTheOfficeEarlyDay

Rumors swirling about something big going down in N Platte today. Any body have any good info on that??
