Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

The end game is pretty simple, break the unions by getting rid of the old heads and disenchanting the new hires. Eventually going to unmanned remote controlled trains.

I think the goal for dumbfuck Lance is to f— it all up, increase shareholder profit, lie about everything, retire with severance pay, bonuses, and receive retirement gifts. The really disturbing part of that is he's got degrees for what he's doing. Do you really need a degree to f— up a company this badly? Is this what his education taught him? I hope he didn't pay too much for those degrees.

It’s typical corporate America. It’s a shame that the president gave them a tax cut just to have them do this. But everything they are doing is legal and what corporate America wants. If the working people don’t stand n unison against it then this is what we get. It’s time for all workers to unionize or just take it.

UP is just a tired old company still being run like it was 75 years ago.

There should be mandatory retirement for suit at 20 years, cause at UP, they are pretty much done doing anything useful after 15 years

They're end game is to basically screw the employees, and f— the company up. The government will probably come in and offer some sort of bailout, reinstate regulations, and the game will start over. I forgot to add that the corporate a-holes like Lance Fritz will be retired with millions in his pocket. Fritz will go down as the worst CEO in the history of UP. He already turned the company into the the worst company to work for, so the worst CEO scenario can't be too far off from the truth.

The investors that have the execs and board over a barrel will s— every dime out of the company, then run to their next victims. The Railroad is a necessity, so the government will come in and bailout the pathetic corpse of an operation, and we the workers will pay for it all through our taxes. The wealthiest on Wall Street will be dripping in gold and the rest of us will be paying taxes and giving up more and more pay and benefits until we breathe our last breath. It’s been happening for millennia. At least we have relative wealth and freedom while we hunt and gather and toil for the 1%.

Government bailout!

@vsz: That's deep. Seriously....

The endgame is for people in positions of power to get wealthy.

They’re trying to retain quality people at UP.

The Union Pacific isn’t going anywhere! They will be here long after you and I die! they will still hire and fire and furlough people as always, I believe certain service units that they deem as non essential will be sold to short line railroads

The Company is going the same path Sears Roebuck went down. Started strong , ran at the front of the pack for decades and then destroyed itself. Our individual crews perform best as they can, and we are the ones that maintain stability, not the execs. People in bib overalls built the railroads, people in suits destroyed it.

I would compare working there to being like road k–l, except your still barely alive as the buzzards are picking away at your bones . You still feel it as you lay there,but there isn’t anything you can do about it. I guess you lay there with hopes another vehicle drives by and temporary scares them off, hoping the buzzards go pick someone else’s bones. Hmmm, I didn’t realize buzzards and investors had so much in common! It seems the corpse can be the company and the employee in this scenario! Lol Nothing but bones left when is all said and done and the buzzards move on to the next meal someone laid out for them.
