They cut the only 4 locomotive foreman jobs in Dupo, 3 of them have no where to go as their seniority is from other locals that have been shut down, the fourth is a 72 year old dedicated railroad man. Supposedly they gave them till the end of the year.

Man , that is some tough news to read. Times are rough for sure. I pray God will make a way for them to find another good job.
It’s foremen.
Whats the surprise? We all know there wont be any foreman left soon.. lol
It’s none of your folks business when he retires or what his circumstances are. It’s his choice what he does with his life. Period. Full stop.
Young people are getting laid off left and right, yet he is 72 and well beyond retirement. Not the days to stick around for your own pride save someone a job and move on if you are able to retire.
They could care less about the 72 yo man. But I semi agree he should retire. Why spend your golden years in this cesspool? I know a guy who is in his 80s still working in a shop.
If ur 72 and still working for the railroad you need to be layed off
