And I'm asking specifically non-engineers.

Did we have to pay our out of our own check our sick days. Said i had a -24 hour adjustment on my paystub which took $950 out of my check. The 3 sick days we were awarded in April? Anybody have any insight on this?

I've suffered from back problems from this ever since I was a teenager. I applied today and hoping UP approves.

You no longer have vacation. Vacation is for going to the doctor and covering lates due to inclement weather etc. Words right out of the mouth of the HR lady.

How many jobs will this effect??????

It’s happening again. Will be shut down by April 30th. Managers are having meetings to determine their plan of action to execute it.

The main reason I see that PSR did not work is that UP has way too many diversity hires, and “Daddy got me a job here”, types.

Yep, I can hear it all now from the managers. We’ve got to work safe, or they’ll close our facility. We’ve got to be productive, or they’ll close our facility. We’ve got to cut payroll costs, or they’ll close our facility. .. — read more
