Apr 15 Pine Bluff auction Apr 16 NLR auction http://www.adamsauctions.com/ Not sure why UP isn't using Blackmon to auction this time.

I cannot wait to see this ole timey choo choo in action. Best part about it is that im out of a job so i have plenty of time to go see it. I might even follow it around its tour, like a locomotive groupie. God Bless you Big Boy, i love you!!!!!!

I’ve noticed on several places on this board, when people asked how is the company planning to produce better results with a lesser headcount and less locomotives in operation, some folks replied that they see better efficiency in longer trains and... — read more 

Our department was told that they will meet the 30% with attrition this year. That logically tells me we are done. Is somebody lying to all of us? And if they are, why would I stick around with people who can’t be trusted? What game is this exactly?... — read more 

I heard today that the start times are changing. 8-4, 4-12, 12-8 can anyone confirm this.

It’s been quiet in our area. (IT)I believe we have met what Vena wants. Layoffs are done for us right? How come noone is saying anything or happy about that?

I don’t agree with it but I can understand the logic of layoffs and what they want to do with the company with a lesser workforce. What I can’t understand is why, other than a few scapegoats, the managerial structure wasn’t really touched the... — read more 

I work for B.N. Just heard Vena will be at the B.N. yard in Denver then B.N. and group will visit 2 other sites. 36 street up yard and North yard Denver. I think we maybe taking over all off Denver and moffit in exchange for other site.

I have been told by several different higher up with Uncle Pete that the plan is to layoff until the RR fails. Then bring it back. Sounds like insider trading, cause your own stock to plumit, buy it back, fix your RR, sell then walk away

Does anyone have any idea if they will ever call back the furloughed workers?

I have seen the postings on BNSF’s website drop from 60 open positions, all the way down to 13 over the last three months. Looks like they’re snatching up all the good talent that has left UP. Smart move, if you ask me.

Shop closure in North Platte. UPFE the end of the line. Car department is next. Where did this info come from? Any truth behind it?

Isn’t it dangerous to thin the workforce to the bone in the situation where the workers that got to stay have a large degree of stress and bitterness within themselves? What happens when atrition hits and the workforce is already at the bare minimum?... — read more 

I heard Brahzos was stopped. Any updates?

Mechanical agreement forces cut. When do you start cutting management?

I was laid off last month from UP and as far as I can see the job market is tough. I would like that people that found new jobs after UP in the railroad business posted their experience, how tough it was, what were the challenges, how did it work... — read more 

HOUSTON Locomotive thru April total 57 people out of work. Mach- 34 Elec - 10 Mso - 11 Blmr - 1 Frmn - 1

I have been working for UP for 6 years and I will be resigning here shortly to begin another job. Executive management knows nothing about running a railroad and is just a puppet at the hands of wall street. They also killed two of our Co workers... — read more 

As a furloughed worker I found myself in a situation that the hope that they will call me back in at some point is literary preventing me from actively looking for another job. Can’t say that I was depressed, never been a lazy guy, but I still feel... — read more 

I was wondering how job hunting was going for people who were laid off by UP in the past several months? Are you having any luck? If yes, what's the situation with your pay? Is it comparable to what you received here or did you have to take a pay... — read more

The Railroad Workers United union has announced that it is challenging Union Pacific’s decision to streamline operations by laying off workers, including a number who are employed by the company in Pine Bluff. Precision Scheduled Railroading, as UP’s... — read more 

I mean this only to encourage. I was laid off in January. I have had 5 job offers all of which are similar or better paying with a better schedule. I was a Carman for 8 years and I don't have a degree. There are tons of jobs out there so don't think... — read more 

If a person wants to get the current state of working conditions at Union Pacific look no further than the review comments for UP on the Indeed job site. Very telling!

Heard NLR was planning another layoff. If this is tire what's the numbers and date?

I wonder how long will it take Union Pacific leadership to realize that profit at all cost will end up destroying the company in the end. And then to realize that in that case there will be no profit at all for anybody, including them? One would... — read more 

Has anyone done any all or partial withdraw from the 401k without a hardship? Seems every time I attempt to reach out to Vanguard or do anything on the site, it is blocked. I'd like to know my options, but seems Vanguard / UP makes it extremely... — read more 

Most of our locations just got hit with another round of cuts. We had 4 machinist and 3 electricians. Our location isn't using our locomotives. We only have a few actually moving. With this being said, it looks like our yard may be shut down next... — read more
