Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

Closing remote offices

closing offices in Chicago, KC, Houston, San Bernadino, and Fort Worth. Fort Worth and San Bernadino offices are shared with bnsf so they're screwing that over too. Dispatchers and managers at remote offices given less than 24 hours to make a decision on getting transferred or terminated and given no information on Relocation packages or severance policy details

Doesn't make a lot of sense because the dispatching offices in Fort Worth and San Bernardino are shared with BNSF. Think things'll go smoothly pulling out U.P. guys? Where's the motivation for BNSF to work collaboratively? id--ts

Can confirm. Either move to Omaha or take a severance package. All dispatchers outside of Omaha except for Houston so far have been notified. Houston is next.

As s---y as it sounds, this one makes sense. Get all of our dispatchers in 1 location.

It’s a nightmare to get ahold of Houston dispatchers.

The UP dispatchers based in Fort Worth. Not the field managers.

I have never seen a shared office with BNSF at the Davidson Yard.

Ft Worth offices are at the BNSF Central Dispatch Center and handle the Powder River Basin.
