WARN ACT - 60 day notice?
Does anyone have information regarding Warn Act notice? After reading into it, looks like the Warn Act is to provide employees a 60 day notice of termination (furlough). At our shop, we were given the notice and sent on our way. Was anyone given 60... — read more
Too much storage?
Because of PSR Union Pacific lost business, now they too much loco’s and flat cars in storage to handle shipping. In my opinion which means nothing but Union Pacific was the best without PSR, I wonder if they regret it?
Another round of demotions to the executives is coming in September just in time for Labor Day weekend.
How many do you think will get fired or demoted this time? They’re not getting the results they want, so they’re going to keep demoting and promoting until they find the right people.
1 Man Crews due To Covid
Omahas next move will be the push for single crew cabs due to the spread of Covid 19. The real question is when?
Good guys wear Black
Looks like a winning combination, UP has acquired more business from the e commerce giant Amazon. On the surface this seems like an uplifting story for employees ,but like they say, "the devil is in the details". Now Im not one for conspiracy... — read more
This is the positive story we need in 2020. All the demoted and fired executives are teaming up to make the next courage to care video.

Health Insurance
I don’t think I’ll be going back to UP because my seniority is too low. I just started paying 950 a month for COBRA. My state doesn’t have expanded Medicaid and “he” is ending the ACA anyway “he” said so. Working people should start voting for our... — read more
130 maintenance of way jobs cut yesterday on the southern region
“Covid” cuts. Cost too much to buy face masks and hand sanitizer so we have to cut you guys off. But look at the bid line in December. We’re going to put up 30 jobs for you guys.
The most popular UP lay-off thread ever is about demoted executives.
@OP+15P9kHQo. 3500 views. Why? Because everybody likes a demoted executive and all the executives are afraid we’re talking about them.
I have a question? If you service and sign off your work?
and then a new 9414 is generated to sign off again is that ok
Agreement
Buyouts are coming is the rumor on the 9th floor.

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

UP Headquarters scouting out Texas
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.
Lance down to 6% approval rate on Glassdoor!
LMAO. Lost another point. The lowest rated CEO on Glassdoor another year. Zero respect from his employees.

Union Pacific is hiring
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!
Carloading on the rise!
Stock is on the up and up boys and girls! Let's gettr dun!
