that they are greedier than the leadership of most other companies in America? I can only say that they are greedier than the five companies I have worked for before, and it seems pretty clear to everyone that they are becoming even more so as... — read more
First strike on attendance!
Who's joining the club with me to lay off Christmas? After all the bull sh1t this company has caused all of us they aren't getting this holiday from me.
Good things
Does any one have anything good to write about UPRR ? Good times with others employees ? Favorite memories ?
Thursday
Happy Thursday. . Merry Christmas everybody. Am going shopping with my wife . Going to see a movie and a nice dinner. I am glad I live in America. On vacation all week.
BLE or UTU.
Which union is more worthless? In San Antonio we pay union dues for worthless union representation. All they are good for is laying off union on the weekends and holidays.
Unpopular opinion, but true
Why would you think the company cares about anything other than making money. The company is very profitable, and this is not debatable. Once the PSR has ran its course, there will be another downsizing plan. You can bet this is being planned... — read more
$500 referral bonus
BLET just signed agreement for employees to get a $500 bonus from UP who refer applicants. Applicants must get hired and work at least 30 days after new hire training to be eligible.
It's as simple as 2+2
How hard it is to put together that fewer people = more accidents and more derailments? A five-year-old kid would be able to make the connection by now. Not our leadership, though. They can't see anything from dollar signs flashing in their eyes when... — read more
Will North Platte finish 2022 still at the #1 spot for service units?
That would make it 6 years in a row. Unbelievable streak North Platte!
I don't know of any manager here who is great to work with
Purely out of curiosity, I wonder if there is a manager at UP who is not bully and who actually does a great job? Judging by what my manager is like and judging by other people’s stories, there doesn’t seem to be a manager here for whom... — read more
Multiple derailments in Iowa , thanks Omaha
National Weather Service had forecast severe storms with high winds for 3 days prior to yesterday. Yesterday day morning, forecasts had again increased projected wind speed into the 70-80 mph range. By noon NWS was calling for winds up to 100mph... — read more
IT is cleaning out the hard working people
Any excuse to get rid of people they are. If you aren’t an a-s kisser you are marked. A Vice President and two general directors gone and rumors of more to come! Just making up excuses todo it.They got people scared and they like it that way!
My manager left UP for hobby lobby.
Says it was the best decision he ever made. He still owes me money though.
Think carefully before applying to UP
I have a lot of friends at Central Freight Lines and my heart sank when I found out they were going to lose their jobs right before Christmas. I believe that many of the 2,100 employees will find work at UP, but I hope that all of them will think... — read more
Stay true to your conscience, apply for a religious exemption to the vaccine if you feel it is the right thing to do.
Take care of yourself and your family.
Signal getting screwed
Heard BRS agreed to pay raising but no back pay. Imagine that. We have got to vote them out and get a new union. Every union on railroad except BRS fought vaccine mandate. Just a bunch of cowards stealing our money
Companies cancel vaccine mandate
UPRR , BNSF and other companies cancelled the vaccination mandate today.
PALESTINE, TX
They were going to shut Palestine Car Shop down...then they weren't. Then they were...then they weren't. Our heads are spinning with what's happening. Does anyone have further information on what's going on? Inquiring minds wanna know. The employees... — read more
What about those savings?
The real question of how much money was saved versus money spent on all of their cost saving measures? The CEO had a target of 500 million in cost savings a year. Did they ever achieve that goal? How come we don't hear about the actual... — read more
Happy Holidays from North Platte, the #1 service unit 5 years in a row.
This holiday season I’m grateful for my hardworking brothers and sisters in North Platte that keep us in business and prevent more layoffs. The model service unit for the railroad. God bless
When is Lance Fritz Retiring?
Does anybody know when Lance Fritz is supposed to be retiring? They want to do away with PSR and go back to traditional Railroading
UP’s 2050 zero emissions goal already a failure.
I ate a large Mexican taco, and I tried to hold it in, but alas I released a large amount of methane gas from my buttocks into the atmosphere. The worst part about it was I was wearing my UP shirt and now everyone at the dollar tree knows the... — read more
@LANCE FRITZ ON TWITTER
COME ON OVER TO TWITTER AND TALK TO UNCLE FRITZ AND THE @ UNIONPACIFIC ON TWITTER UNTIL THEY BLOCK YOU. HAVE SOME FUN AND HACKLE THEM BOTH
It is very difficult to explain
I could somehow understand it all if UP wasn't doing well financially. However, why would a company that is doing very well financially treat its employees the way UP does? Such greed is impossible to comprehend.
Federal Contractor mandate nationwide injunction out of Georgia.
A breather for now.
I tested positive
But I am going to work anyways because we have no sick days and the RRB compensation sucks.
Sinking ship
Does anyone else feel like they are on a sinking ship slowly watching it sink.
Cell mates
Ol' Lancey can't find any good workers who want to be treated like dirt, so he's going to start tapping into the "untapped resource" of hiring felons. Pro: Now you don't have to drive far to find a dealer Con: Worrying about dropping the soap or... — read more
Federal vaxx mandate struck down? We're going to mandate the shot regardless
This might be hard for some of you to understand but you work for a private company. Yes right now we are mandating the vaccine because it's required by Pres. Biden's executive order. But, if that gets struck down then we can mandate it privately... — read more
I'm really worried
Regardless of how this company is doing nowadays, I need a job and it would not suit me to lose it. It seems to me that I am in a hopeless situation because I still do not know if my medical status will be enough to get an exemption. Due to my... — read more
Vaccine mandate
What’s going with the vax mandate at UP? Are they walking people off?
Those who returned
I see that some were called to return, so I wonder if those who actually returned received the same pay/ same benefits or not? I recently heard that someone came back and got a significantly higher pay, but I don’t believe that. I hope I will never... — read more
Climate Action Plan
I can't wait to find out what the UP climate action plan will be like. What do you think? It's great that UP "cares" about the climate, but I would like them to start caring more about the safety as well so that we don't hear about employees on board... — read more
I called CMS and wished the crew caller a happy thanksgiving.
Then I laid off. Courage to care. I’m going to be too full to ride a train car.
The CP-KCS merger is a go!
I saw the article that the application process is being finalized for the merger between CP and KCS. I think we all knew it was coming anyways. What was funny was the opposition from the UP in regards to the application. The UP tried to stop the... — read more
