Has anybody been pulled out of service for EEO. What takes place and what hoops do you have to jump through. Or are you looking for a new job?

@OP if you have been pulled from service for an eeo violation, you probably want to start looking if you already haven’t.
No it's not as long as they're aware of it. I know the company doesn't like it but really who cares. I'm sure the UP has provisions or something in place that actively prohibits employees from doing so. What those could be is anyone's guess, but I'm sure it has something to do with them making sure they win a legal battle if it ever went to the courts. Words don't mean a dam thing if you don't have recorded proof to back it up. I know people are still doing it with management because the management cannot trusted at all! The UP has cameras EVERYWHERE and also has managers that WILL lie about everything. If one is faced with a potential safety issue or a dishonest situation, then it's best to cover yourself and tell them to get bent. The UP even has a maps policy against dishonesty that apparently doesn't apply to management. The odds are unfortunately not in the employees favor with this one. So if you're going to lose your job for something the management is lying about, then record ALL OF IT and give yourself a fighting chance against their lies! The UP is all about the rules as long as the rules can benefit them and them only!
@363 Isn’t it illegal to record without consent?
Someone called me the N word and I called him the P word. Good thing I was recording because I had the evidence and he had hearsay.
Just do it
If it’s a protected status violation you will more than likely be terminated
Ask yourself this question. Is this job at a company that’s not worth fighting for, really worth fighting for?
No, but they tried really hard to pull me out at least twice and failed horribly. Their failure stemmed from the lack of evidence against me and made up details that got dismissed quickly as lies by local management. I still came to work everyday during investigation proceedings. If you're worried about it, then the best thing to do would be to just walk away now, because it won't get any better. I can only assume the OP was just pulled out for something. If you messed up, then just let the investigation run it's course and hope for the best. If the UP wants to get rid of you, then they WILL get rid of you. If you're unsure of any wrongdoing, then I'd say fight them till the very end. You'll probably lose your job after an investigation without evidence anyways, so you really have nothing to lose if you fight them. I've discovered that the UP doesn't like resistance too much, and sometimes like to quiet things down when it starts to get too loud for them. If you have information that you can use to help you, the USE IT!
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws prohibit specific types of job discrimination in certain workplaces. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has two agencies which deal with EEO monitoring and enforcement, the Civil Rights Center and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
Most of the time it’s agreement employees pulled out of service while an investigation occurs. If it’s non-agreement unless it was an outright violation with lots of witnesses, they remain employed during the investigation.
