Courts ruled in UP favor in their attempt to tear down Palestine location. Word I’m hearing from my HQ source is Palestine is just the first of MANY locations to be shutdown permanently in a 2 year period. This is legit info that can be verified... — read more 

I’m wondering, is there ever anything new on this sh-t site? The same posts have been on here a week.

Hope everyone is ready for the cycle rest days. Be warned up will run the board as short as humanly possible. Causing engineer's to go back to being conductors and essentially pushing the younger conductor out of their spot. The idea was great, but I... — read more 

Says you guys are next in line for more work heading your way.

Why is it that when you want to get furloughed it doesn’t happen but when you don’t want to get furloughed you get furloughed?!

UP is leaning more to 6 and 3..... probably going to be an extra board.... once they get rid of Pools they'll shut for 1 giant extra board for all directions.... Also what was the point of having a pay increase if we're just guarantee? Much... — read more 

Supposedly vena is at north platte on Saturday henchman getting ready for cuts I'm sure

What’s being done about all the open doors on container trains? Trains travel the entire system from origin to destination with co tai er doors open. Merchandise falling out or attracting thieves. Trains can’t be stopped because of velocity. ... — read more 

Which yard do we want to shut down today? Let's go over the numbers with Vena. Focus on Western depots. California costs too much money. Which port do we close? Intermodel down? Can LA pickup Norcals work? What's it gonna be?

We keep getting held out of time for their precious dwell time.... how much of a bonus do these fu----s get for it?

It doesn't make sense. Stay added 8 hrs. to cover the next shift because the 1 man called off. It's dangerous. 2, 3 days in a row. My doctor says that's unhealthy for me.

No doinking your subordinates, you know who you are. No good ole boy club promotions, you know who you are. Honesty is a policy, being dishonest to your subordinates is against the rules. No dr-gs, where is the dr-g testing for... — read more 

Nampa terminal posted 3 utility jobs yesterday for switch crews and cut the car dept. today.

If you think you shouldn't and UP deserves better, you're not very smart (I'd use another word but I want this post to stay up). Just start doing the bare minimum. Exactly what you're being paid for. And considering how little we're paid, that... — read more 

I don’t think this site is truly anonymous… If more than 1 man takes a vacation at a time, the railroad will bust. (Why?) Ever try posting using a VPN? It won’t work… We need you to keep making it work with less…. Or we will cut you!... — read more

Great slogan for UP college fairs.

Did everyone get their Hat and Pen?

Heard today that Omaha is going to send like 75 so called “qualified” 213.9 Personel to come to the main lines, industry leads and yards with high derailments to “inspect” tracks. Please headquarters let us know how we should do are jobs. Brothers... — read more 

I guess the 35% reduction post caught UP’s attention so they had it removed. Someone in headquarters doesn’t like us having the inside scoop as to what they are wanting to do. Keep an eye out for weird acting management the next several weeks. To... — read more 

For years we let them cut our jobs. Continue working with the minimum. Call off work because we are tired. Some out on stress, medical. No one is replaced to do the work. Yet the job still gets done. That just shows Vena he can cut even more or even... — read more 

Does U.P. still have smoking policy.Seems like since most of higher UPS smoke policy is not enforced. I guess this will be next way to ✂️ cut number of agreement employees since hardly no one took early out.

Does anyone know when the 11 and 4 is going to be implemented? I don't trust this cr-ppy SMART local in Roseville! Too many carrier butt k8ssers

Mechanical seems to be the craft Veena wants to be part of the past. So I've gotten my resume updated. Applied at several rr outfits. No one is hiring. We only have enough experience to work at Rapid Oil Change franchises. Sam's Club as a stocker. I... — read more 

Why do they keep hiring? I’m sure it probably a d-mb question, but unfortunately I think logically and there isn’t any logic that I can think of to this. Can’t keep the ones they got now marked up and want to hire more. In the end people will get... — read more

Any word if Desoto might get hit with any of these (mass layoffs) that are suppose to come in March? Asking for a friend.

Too many rumors about layoffs to ignore them. I guess we really can expect a bloodbath. Why can’t we know what the game is, so that we can plan accordingly? We all have families to support and bills to pay. What’s the point of keeping us in the dark?... — read more
