North Platte just got hit with major layoffs!!!
Word on the street is Lance And Vena to resign in October 2020. Say they’ve accomplished the mission and blame any setbacks on covid-19.
Who will replace them? Big bird or Bozo the clown?
About That Strike...
After all the bickering and bluster, there has yet to be any movement on carrying out any strike of any kind. Some people blamed former presidents for personally blocking strikes in the past (this only happened once, and it was the during the 1800s)... — read more
I just have one question ?
Are you better off now than you where 4 years ago 😊
Everyone being laid off in NLRK should fill out a Glassdoor review on the way out to let the world know what a POS lance and company is
He’s at 7% approval but should be zero.
Roseville yard to be shutdown.

Vacation Qualifying & Undertime
They want furloughs to go at least rest of year to prevent vacation qualification. More heads will roll pretty quick because qualification time is rapidly approaching. Taking unpaid days off helps them realize this goal. Uncle Pete has been... — read more

What’s on 12th and 13th floor?
I work in IT and was allowed to go into UPC today to pick up a medication. They are doing some serious Demo work on 12/13. They said they are eliminating over half the cubes and offices. Who works on those floors? Because I would say that area... — read more
Single Crew Coming In Faster Than We Thought
Cutting all these conductor positions is setting them up for 1 man crews. It's been fun boys. I guess I'm gone.
RR tax settlement
Received my final RR tax settlement check today. Looks like if you are paid more than 600 dollars in interest you will receive a 1099-INT tax form.
BNSF Slashes Managers
BNSF Corporate is slashing jobs today in Fort Worth. If your working from home you will not have a job!!!

Fort Worth Shop
Does the Johnson County cartel still run the loco shop? When I was working there the place was full of sons, son in laws and a little short guy walking around in his coat year round! Everyone is kin or inbreed, a bunch of lazy thieving f—s! Glad I am... — read more
Unpaid leave.
To everyone saying yeah I will take a week unpaid every month, you could just go on a stress leave make basicly the same amount of money and stretch that out for six months. If the unions allow this to happen it is a injustice to every person that... — read more
???????????
Any layoffs going on at any shop at this time. Post numbers and crafts below.
Smart Move
Was just thinking of the director that bought 15k shares at $138/share. He’s made 300,000.00 in just a few weeks if he sold it now. He won’t because he knows it’s projected to go much higher. Smart man.
Courage to Care
Just a shout out to the one who came on here as Andre the Giant a few days ago. That was funny.

Union Pacific Greatest Company To Work For Bar None
That's right, I said it. All you whiners that are complaining about everything - QUIT, America is a free country. The benefits are amazing, the pay is far more than you lazy people should get and the retirement is about as good as it gets. I have... — read more
I Quit Union Pacific
I finally quit Union Pacific after waiting 5 long years for it to get better. I was a 12 year employee. I can't tell you how glad I am that I did. Going to work was starting to become a chore because of all the negativity. It was like attending a... — read more
Thats life.
I dont usually come on here and comment mostly because i enjoy reading the comical people on here. I had to share this. I read that a UP employee from headquarters said this- " ive worked for UP for 10 years and its been great, but in 2020 they have... — read more
If you currently work for UP and have more than 10 years till retirement, then find a new job.
UP is blaming everything on the virus. But the people in charge are going to run the company into the ground. UP won't go bankrupt and will survive, but if you think it s—s working there now it is only going to get worse every single hour, day... — read more
Voluntary Lay-Off Days
Has anyone seen the memo with the “undertime” process? Once again, the company has took something very simple and over engineered it. They are going to allow you to take an unpaid day off when it’s convenient for them. Turn in a list of days... — read more
Blacklisted

Per the earnings call UP will suspend stock buybacks, but will continue to pay dividends
So thank you to all the nonagreement for accepting the mandatory unpaid LOA and 25% paycut. The stock holders thank you.
Be careful about what you wish for.
We can’t retain (good) help with this pay. I guess they think it is going to be better with less pay. Considering days off, shifts, putting up with the aggregation ,don’t think so.
Voluntary time off
So doesn't this go against our contract of a 40 hour work week. If we agree to this will the company try and lower our hours at contract time, especially if the unions are allowing it now. Also if you took this would you qualify for the 600... — read more
JUST WONDERING...
Since my union was happy to voluntarily have us take unpaid days off for the sake of "keeping memebers" would they mind if we voluntarily not pay union dues every other month? Asking for a friend...
Here come the contractors...
Fleet size and carloadings now getting down to a level where execs can seriously entertain the idea of just letting contractors maintain everything.
SHOWTIME
So the numbers were better then expected and they pulled the company estimates for the year yesterday and everything was supposedly ok. Now today they are supposedly asking the unions to talk the workers into taking unpaid leave to help the company... — read more

Omaha is already starting to call unions to try to get them on board with voluntary time off! Happened today at my location.
TE&Y and MofW beware!
TE&Y and MofW beware. It has come down from the top that employees who were once qualified dispatchers will be returning to back fill the vacant dispatching centers while these employees are on RULA. They have dug up a roster of employees who were... — read more
Agreement Vs Non Agreement
Why the bad blood between these two? Was UP designed that way? Why the bad blood between crafts? Is the old house of cards divided cant stand being applied? What kind of circus is the Railroad to work for? From an outside perspective it seems like a... — read more
