Gentlemen if Union Pacific offers early retirement packages take it. To get 100% tier 1 at 15-20 yrs service is heaven.

We been having lots overtime and pulling some units out of storage. Any chances layoffs are over and shop will call some us machinist back to work? Need to make some overtime money to recover. Any one hear any rumors on call backs or layoffs done?

Trouble in paradise?

We've had so many. Are they to their 30% yet? We've done our bit.

This has been going around for awhile now, but they are actively considering it. This also allows UP to easily leave a lot of people high and dry. . . no need to layoff. they can just quit.

LMAO. Lost another point. The lowest rated CEO on Glassdoor another year. Zero respect from his employees.

Imagine if Airline Mechanics and Inspectors had the same work ethic as the Car Department, would you want to fly? Or maybe a Train doesnt really need inspecting. I mean there not dangerous are they? Whats the worse that could happen? Maybe UP... —  read more 

Jenks to start opening August 1st. Ilp has been installed. Jobs will be combined. Welcome to 2020 biches......

I heard 42 dispatchers and coridor managers got walked out of the HDC today. Anyone else heard anything? With all these close calls latetly how can they cut down on dispatchers even more?

Well fellow managers looks like their going to extend our pay cuts through the rest of the 2020.

Anyone know what’s going on in the Los Angeles, with his arrival?

Manager's starting pay: $38k salary with 12 weeks off no pay per year. Ask the current manager's they'll tell you how great it is.... Kind of embarrassing if you ask me. A laborer making more money than a manager.

Why does the UP continue to hire managers if employees are being furloughed!

Stock is on the up and up boys and girls! Let's gettr dun!

Does anyone else get a good laugh when you are preached to about ethics when you log onto the company web site? I’m pretty sure everything that is happening at this company is like the furthest thing from high ethical standards. I’m pretty sure upper... —  read more

Guess it's time to shut it down

There is alot of guys between you it's tough to say if they will get back to you. Even when jenks reopens it's tough to say the 78 machinist will even get called back, even the electricians will be tough if they call them all back. They will open... —  read more

Now hiring fired UP managers. Fake degrees are welcome.

CSX just pushed out 86 managers. This company is going down the way side. What the heck we goina do? Oops! Wrong post. This is UP! Sorry fellas. I'll go to CSX and vent there. I guess all the railroads are the same–THEY S—!

Since we are working lots overtime again in North Platte. Do you guys think its safe to buy a house now. I would think they will not be laying off anymore since we are needed. Whatever happened to shop being screened for layoffs. Sorry but dont see... —  read more 

I wish you guys that hate it so much would quit. I love it there but I’m stuck at home laid off. I miss you UP. Hopefully I get called back soon!

Why did you fire me? I don’t want to work for Omnitrax.

I thought it was a great news column that said a railroad actually helped a lot of people by delivering food, helping families out hit with covid-19, and making sure their employees were ok financially during the pandemic. Just when I was proud of UP... —  read more

Lack of funds hitting critical support functions.

Not sure how many though.

After the leadership cratered yet another UP subsidy, they’re selling it off piece by piece at a public auction. Don’t worry if you miss this one there will be more in the future as the company continues to implode before our... —  read more
