Even UP wouldn't do this to people. An entire class of mechanical students were fired while attending training at the CN Homewood campus. Other rumors flying around about shops cutting back labor, Centralia, IL supposedly lost a few craft people already. IAM local chairman (Chicago) sent out a text message stating that CN wants a ten percent reduction of the workforce across the southern division.

UP has done it to conductors. I’ve seen it
Your right UP would have waited for them to mark up in time for the holidays and furlough them and never call them back. All railroads are the same across the board....all are jumping on the PSR BS and if you don’t have 17-20 hrs seniority....your out the door....dust off the old resume gents
