Anyone know why hiring is up all of a sudden. It’s been slow all year long and now they want people from all backgrounds, even ex-convicts. Does not make sense.

The NMB has authorized an election for the UP Train Dispatchers to be represented by the ATDA.

It is well known up has cancer causing locomotives, yet they still run these indoors forcing people to breath the toxic substances. https://www.facebook.com/100063655746507/posts/1735649768566865/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

Big furlough’s coming this month! Major shops (cities) will be affected. Omaha, Houston and FT. Worth, 75 machinist all together. 15 electricians and 12 MSO’s

The truth is UP wants out of everything but the intermodal game. The "merger" is nothing more that a plan to build a coast to coast intermodal railroad. Once/if NS is acquired, UP plans on selling off all the manifest, grain coal and industry work... — read more

They keep milking the cash cow. Training budgets slashed , only new employees are allowed to attend now. Oil changes at 7500 miles . Credit card $ charges limited. No safety meeting meals. When will it ever stop ?

The UP dispatchers submitted enough A- cards for a vote but the cards were not formatted correctly so no vote Way to go ATDA

On September 1, 2026, the Federal Railroad Administration published Union Pacific’s petition for a waiver from part of the locomotive periodic-inspection rules. UP wants to eliminate the requirement that one of the recurring inspections on qualifying... — read more

We always have layoffs in October, I don't see why this year would be different.

I don’t know any electricians at any other major shops so I decided to reach out here. I don’t know how things are at your shop but the opinion at my shop is that we aren’t getting any union support at all. The IBEW has been nothing but crickets for... — read more 

RMSU is gone Nor Cal and PNW still online heard certain teams in mechanical came close to being shut down, territory got expanded here. Sounds like more TCIs will be in the works as they want everyone mobile.

Will the dispatchers unionize or stay "management"

shutting down California's hot shots! Low volume! Go trump

Please be aware of this visa abuse. It is favoring H1B employees over citizens. It is silently laying off US citizens.

I hear a vote is on the horizon

What happened to the Trump loco? It’s like it has disappeared. Not at any celebrations for the 250th. Not really any coverage about it. Seems odd after all that was done to get this thing made. No mention of it by The White House or Trump... — read more

Get ready! Plan ahead talks of big cuts coming this fall. Mostly to mechanical shop jobs.

Is there opportunity for career advancement anymore once the merger goes through? My mates at BNSF say they don't see opportunities like they used to. The merger would mean more management to cull through already.

The UP Trump Train is in Omaha for the College World Series. Numerous signs around it protesting. What an embarrassment for the company... all because Vena wants the merger to go through.

How do we go about having our own unions investigated for not doing their jobs? Clearly, the production hike is correlating with injuries and incidences. It appears they want transportation to do inspections and just Carmen to the shop and... — read more

Why at a location like Gemco ,does the company have 2 mobile trailers with Cameras 📷 posted up in the same area, having to spy on us? One should be enough. What are the watching? Ballast? Shutdown power?

Anyone know why the MSO craft lost the right to do the Machinist 9414 and outbound jobs?

They say it’s about walking around your vehicle, but the truth is you’re not doing anything on camera cone.

I saw today that Vena is now asking people to contact their elected government representatives and ask them to approve/support his buyout of NS. This guy is so desperate for this to happen it is sickening.
