Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

All the sacrifices that we made were for nothing

Generations of railroad employees just thrown out like garbage. The sacrifices we all have made over the years from travel to working ridiculous amounts of hours to make sure we get the job done! Missing school activities, kids games, family vacations that had to be canceled due to work, or even losing your family because you spent more time at work then at home. CEO says that is "our choice". Really?! Being a dedicated employee, going the extra mile to make sure things are done correctly does not mean a thing in today's railroad. We are all just an number. Why would anyone in this world want their children or grandchildren to work for a company that treats employees this poor. Giving you 24 hours to decide the rest of your life or just being escorted off the property in front of your peers!!

The original poster ( @VN1YE65-ups ) couldn't be more right.

Surprisingly I agree with the first person. I was looking for a job when I found this one. This great railroad has no blood or feelings. I so far have a job and could get told to go back to my seniority at any time, or give it up and go back. Where this all ends knownone knows. I am truly sorry for you and many others, and hope it turns into a great opportunity for a better family friendly job. Good luck

You got paid right? And benefits? Seems to me like you did it for that more than your love and commitment to move freight. If you were truly in love with the work that much, volunteer to do it for free and save someone’s job.

This is the whole truth, just like yesterday's garbage.......15 years not a single stable relationship (Who would be ok with calls at 2 am continuously?)..... a very few friends I can count in one hand. No social life...

All because you were working to keep the rail moving ensuring customers were happy..... Then thanks to a bunch of imbeciles be terminated like a poor performer.
