I have heard any rumors or lay-off news within the last month or so? I did hear there were supposed to be 4th quarter layoffs but haven’t seen any yet. Any one hearing anything?

Like they always do. More than likely everyone on all the boards has laid off or is on duty. You may be thinking about being a hero and taking a call for another board you don’t cover in a territory you’ve never been. Don’t do that. Lay off and... — read more

Is west colton really shutting down if anyone really has solid information I am low on the roster

Why dont they update their information, about layoffs and how many locomotives they have in service.

I never considered myself a quiter, and I’ve been with the company in some hard times, but at this point working for UP under these conditions is not worth it. Whatever you do, and no matter how hard you work, you are always in danger of being cut or... — read more

Jenks is coming to a fork in the road, which way will the company sway. Shut it down or put money into it and add more jobs. To be continued...... Announcement in Dec.

Is all this insider stock trading and inflating the $ vale of UP stock legal ? Seems the SEC (securities and exchange comission ) might help if some complaints were turned in to them

Thanos (Jim Vena) allegedly in Houston today, anyone hear him snap?!?

Is this going to be an interesting year as it relates to Uion Pacific Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?
