Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

Rule 27 is their go to thin the heard move. And all you can do is grieve and lose 2 years later.

Train crews are breaking all the rules now in order to speed up and produce. Mounting and dismounting moving equipment, kicking and dropping cars, and getting people hurt.

But the stock price is going up!! So I guess it's working for the board.

If this is the case,sounds like “the plan” isn’t going as scripted or maybe it is. Now foremen will be strong armed to intimidate employees to take shortcuts, haress,turn a blind eye to safety rules or use safety rules to force the psr process along come hell or high water! We all know they care so much about employee safety management wouldn’t dare use safety as a way to intimidate employees to do something they should or shouldn’t do depending on the crisis or problem at hand.

There, their and they’re, please take 2 minutes to understand the difference.

So exercise seniority. Boohoo

If they fire or "let someone go" under Rule 27 due to the PSR changes..... WOW Lawyers would be lined up to take case for wrongful termination or demotion. Hold my beer.. its about to get interesting.

Rule 27 need to apply to the top management and executivies.

About time.. sick of these foreman that have no clue or are hires because of there Dad or brother.. 86 them

Sounds like a prefect set up for a lawsuit!!

Rule 27. Disqualification

Prior to the disqualification of a foreman, the manager will meet with the foreman

and his Local or District Chairman to discuss corrective actions that are required by the

foreman. If after a reasonable time, the foreman does not make satisfactory progress,

then the foreman may be disqualified.

Foremen that have been disqualified from a position may displace, if qualified,

any foreman his junior in seniority at the point. If not qualified on any foreman position

at the point, then may displace, if qualified, any foreman his junior in seniority on the

district.

And rule 27 is ?
