So here we go again, people on here posting bull$hit that doesn't pertain to helpful or even vaguely useful information. Rumors of layoffs, local/state/federal government crackdowns or attempts to reel in the company on their $hitty business practices or closing loopholes they’ve been using for years, stories about the company finances/stock market affecting the company, local locations issues, making fun of the latest straightUP story, things of that nature that could be considered useful to the employees that still call this flaming cruise ship their job should be at the top of everyone’s concern and postings. Anyone looking at the NS page to see what kind of stuff their company is currently pulling? Take a gander and see does it pertain to us, probably not but don’t put anything the other class ones are doing off the table if it will give this current group in the glass palace more ways to save money. Calling for a wildcat strike on a website everyone has access to isn’t going to work especially when all railroaders know they’re not going to last longer then a few mins. I get it people are fed up with the inactivity the unions are currently deadlocked in because #ell none of them have seen this $hit before either, and majority didn’t listen and learn from the old heads that had those union positions before them that had some sort of experience with fighting anything the company tried so that knowledge is lost. The agreement employees need to stop the bull$hit fighting each other and try to work together like it’s been said time and time again, yea I realize it’s not us against all the crystal palace employees but it is us against the stUPidty that has started to creep into the day to day we deal with started by the ones that get to use the private jets and are currently doing press tours to say we’re doing great. I’m not management either. I am wondering what we are gaining by loading this thing up with the stuff that doesn’t matter. Let’s try once again to get back to using this to help and not hinder us in the end

@OP TL;DR
Unfortunately this site became infested with the entitled pieces of c-ap that believe that unions, senior employees are to blame for the company selling them out to the shareholders. We are all in the same boat. The company will get rid of us if it means more money in their pockets. They don't care what past promises or agreements they have made, they don't care if your family suffers or if you cannot pay your bills. This is the truth, it's not your coworker fault, it's just the way it is
Come on buddy surely you've been railroaded a time or two?
Thats a great, well thought out thread. Unfortunately U.P was built on lies and corruption for a 100 years. I dont think they'll change now.
