650 Managers, 525 Craft and 9 locations to be shutdown. Unsure of which locations. Did anyone really think anything would be different with JV this time around. He was sent here for MASS layoffs to jack the stock price….period.

As some of you may already know, U.P. has officially notified the STB of its intended mass layoff. Perhaps we shall see a resurgence of system wide service disruptions again.

I was laid off 10/24 will I still get my Christmas bonus? Going to need it for Christmas for my kids
