New colleague, left after two months. Another new colleague, left after less than a month. I'm happy for them, but it's frustrating how much UP doesn't care. What's next? Employees who won't show up for work on the second day? This greedy company... — read more 

Carmen always gets the brown end of the stick. Why can't we get sick days? 1 extra day off. Wow. 21% raise, 2 yr. contract, 14% immediately, $1000 yearly bonus. Backpay paid within month. Oh coocah ratcha medical is way up. Did the math. We are... — read more 

It's too easy. Vote for it or against it What's up with trash talk of union BS or Corporate greed? Just vote yes or no. That's all you can do

We already don’t listen to management so why are we listening to the union? If you saved up your points don’t get shy now because the LU Army gave orders to go to work. Strikes come in many forms so enjoy a self help weekend!

Our unions are a fu----g joke! They know this stupid BS 3 days of unpaid sick time won’t fly once the votes are counted, but they went along with it to appease the president and give congress enough time to get their sh-t written so when time comes... — read more

The strike is looming.

Thinking about joining the management team, I have Harvard Law Degree.

See how much $$ you make with no one to move the trains when the strike starts.

Has it ever been worse at UP than it has been lately? I'm curious what were the golden years for you when you could feel valued here and is this one of the worst years by far?

Just picked up all our signs for the strike. Will be handing them out tomorrow with the strike schedule. Have 2 teams of 25 that will be picketing at Fritz home for 16 hours a day. Can't wait for Saturday

If in fact a strike happens even for 5 minutes. Do not perform service that calender day. You will never be compensated. This is not B.S.

The rich are getting richer under this deal. Vote no!

Those meetings we had in north Platte paid off! North Platte the #1 service unit continues to lead the way and inspire the railroad and the nation as a whole.

24% raise granted, 1 extra paid day off. Back pay immediately. 3-4 weeks later massive furloughs.

Tuff luck no strike. Go back to your miserable no days, long hours craft. You signed up for a railroad lifestyle. Live it or leave it! Simple. Bunch of whiners in here!

I haven't been in the railroad for a long time, but if working in other companies is similar to working at UP, then it would be best for me to try to find a job in another industry. It would be interesting if we had data on how many people left UP... — read more 

Second since June when another guy fell off locomotive.

That's been the main problem at the UP for a very long time. The management doesn't listen to its employees. Why make them do the battery test, when it's obvious they would fail it. It's a great idea that will never happen. That management will... — read more 

Don't let management trolls on here confuse you

It’s official, SMART strike on the 18th at 0001!

The previous company where I worked was also very bad but still had better management. Why UP likes to have such incompetent people in managerial positions we will never know, but I wonder where the managers go after UP? I ask, considering that... — read more 

Before I quit, they always acted like the employee's that do the job, can make it better. So when different and more efficient methods where suggested, the managers, always had a "my way or the highway" attitude. If the managers had any sense of... — read more 

Enjoy your upcoming weekend off! Sad to lose the BMWED support today. Train crews are on our own and we are dying out here...

The problem is that the the high up union reps get paid too well, on your backs. They say they have done all this work (wearing their dress shoes, in your shop), with the carrier, with congress, etc... The ol story goes "pigs get fat, hogs get... — read more 

Even as we die for this company, they do not care about us. We only have each other's backs and even then, many of our so called brothers throw us under the bus and snitch us out to management. RIP to the fallen and condolences to their families. One... — read more 

I know we are going to get lowballed before Sept. 16, 2022. Our union officials will come to terms with UP. Just be happy we all have jobs after this..

Why won't they at least help out the people who work extra board by getting rid of guarantee and also exempting extra board workers from attendance policy and just stack the shyt out of all extra boards. The positive is They pay no guarantee .and... — read more

Your heads not in the game, worrying about new contract. Bo-m, 30 days on the ground. Be careful out there gentlemen.

Go back to my craft. According to TCU, the agreement recommended 24% raise. Shoot, I'll make alot more money and not be part of the shatt show anymore.

Strike will only make things worse. Maybe even give us less than 4% when said and done. Be careful what we ask for. You may think we get backpay. That backpay will be sucked up by the increase in medical we didn't pay for, for the last 5 yrs. Just a... — read more 

When will this stop at UP?

I hope we reach an agreement soon. Trying to figure out if I have to get a second job to cover my medical. I was told that the max wage increase will not be over 5% in a 2 yr. contract. Basically we would be in the negative due to the increase in... — read more
