The most obvious answer is Lance was in way over his head. That’s correct. Why else though? Because he was already retired and had nothing to lose. No self respecting high level executive is going to leave another company and come to this toxic... — read more 

Can we make that happen?

Doesn't matter what you do now. All pertinent people have already discussed who is expendable a and who can still be used.

Are you up for the challenge? What does it take to get attention! Ready set Go!

Then they furloughed everyone so nobody got the complete amount advertised. Bait and switch and classic UP. I know several people seeking legal counsel with plans to sue.

So driving by the NLR yard and there was maybe a few trains yarded nothing leaving, waiting on a light, yarding, being humped, or just passing thru. The last time I saw it this bad was in 2008 when everything tanked, I remember even in the summers... — read more 

We have the best and the brightest. Managers and agreement actually get along, the Managers talk more trash on the company than the agreement!!!! But we all get along, work together, we realize we each have a job to do and its nothing personal. Maybe... — read more 

Just remember your paid by the hour not by the car count.

Agreement, Management, Executives, are you all too blind to see that you're all on the same sinking ship, rearrange the chairs all you want, its still going down. Whether it stems from PSR or Covid 19 or a combination of both, sooner or later your... — read more 

I work for a janitorial service and we have a contract with UP corporate office in Omaha, if im not mistaken it is referred to as the " glass palace". Well the other day i was in one of the top tier executives office and I stumbled across a fax that... — read more 

In Ft. Worth we moved two managers to engineering to save their jobs! I guess no layoffs for managers after cutting 50 craft and closing 3rd shift at the diesel shop!

What an embarrassment. Lay off the entire hr department UP.

Will our union leadership try to get Conductors/RCL operators those in cab jobs if they go to 1 man crews? Like RCL where we were able to do our job without a Engineer and run the train. That's what they should be fighting for again if it's going to... — read more 

At this point with all the infighting between crafts and shops I hope everything gets contracted out. That way everyone suffers

So apparently the only reason we are having more layoffs is due to the pandemic. Hmmmm, makes me wonder if UP knew about this pandemic years before anybody else since we've been having layoffs non stop for that long. Or they are just using the... — read more 

Here we go. Its time. And when they bring intermodal in with contractors you carmen may be able to get a job. Its happening sooner than you think.

Maintenance of way is getting hammered as well.

Trash is more valuable than food. How does that make any sense?

What Happened? All this NOP/Bailey Yard BS just came to a screeching halt. the best on the system? no other railroaders can touch us? North Little rock deserves what they get? Nebraska Carmen are the cream? undertime is the... — read more 

We don’t have to hear anymore that NOP is to valuable to cut. Even though they were cut before, they still thought they’re untouchable. Good to see folks can be let go so they can help dad rope goats.

Heard it got hit today. Carmen and transportation not the diesel shop. Any body know any numbers.

Shameful

47 Carmen is the word

Any one know the number of people that got cut?

47 carmen is the word

It will happen sooner than later per Vena and Fritz. It's their #1 goal.

So today is the day UP was supposed to decide if they were going to reopen Denver, NLR Jenks, and/or Desoto shops? Any word on what was decided?

Or at least a better excuse for not having one than the wacko conspiracy theories about federal officials secretly blocking strikes that some people working at UP believe. Maybe the real reason that there hasn't been a strike is that UP... — read more 

Fort Worth getting the axe treatment today who’s next on the covid19 excuse layoff? Did Fort Worth buy into the undertime list? If they did it looks like undertime isn’t saving $hit, and people need to wake up and stop taking it.

Thanks to all the guys that are volunteering to work overtime. Just like y’all did last year when we were furloughed. What goes around comes around.

Layed off 16 machinists , 25 electricians and 10 laborers this morning

Greatest place I ever worked, oh wait a minute the only place I have ever worked! Can’t understand why you are all crying! We have the best management in Ft Worth and the best Unions! So please leave if you don’t like it!!
