I am an agreement job holder as well. I do not think I’m entitled to a job. What I think is when a company is doing very well as Union Pacific is there shouldn’t be this kind of laying off. While I think there are bad performing employees in all aspects of this company. Everyone has contributed to the success of this in someway. The problem I see is Union Pacific never comes up with is own ideas. Always copying off of someone else’s ideas. While some are good not all of it is. The people that work here are constantly trying to adapt to whatever flavor of the week rules. They even change or don’t follow the very processes they come up with. On the mech side we used to work on a lot more units than we do now. Work flowed easier and faster when the processes are followed. It’s very hard to see a shop empty and management pulling every work task out they can to make a unit and, still be positive when I’ve seen dozens of my fellow workers go home. There are so many problems that need to be addressed than just cutting man power that we have no control over as craft. We are set up for failure daily. When these new ideas and processes come up and do t work it’s always blamed on the craft. Actually everything ultimately is blamed on the crafts. I just want a chance. I want a shop without chaos where when it’s time for me to go to work I have EVERYTHING I need to do my job.
