Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

“We haven’t been able to get to them yet,” a Union Pacific director said

The letter, signed by Federal Railroad Administration head Amit Bose, came after the agency inspected the company’s East Departure Yard in North Platte, Nebraska, this summer and found that more than 70% of the train engines had safety defects, as did 20% of the cars — defect ratios twice the national average. Conditions didn’t improve when inspectors returned and found locomotives with defects still in use. “We haven’t been able to get to them yet,” a Union Pacific director said, according to the letter.

Anyone know who said this: “We haven’t been able to get to them yet,”

UP's General Director for Mechanical called the District Specialist and Deputy Staff Director, requesting FRA to stop inspecting the East Departure Yard. The UP North Platte Terminal Superintendent stated due to our focused inspections, they have deadheaded four crews, called an extra crew to set out bad orders, and put on a third-shift additional trim crew to try to get some cars out of the bowl from being walled off with nowhere to trim.
The Director of Locomotive Maintenance, who oversees Hinkle, Albina, and Nampa, blatantly disregarded FRA findings and violations. They stated, "We haven't been able to get to them yet," when asked why train crews were still using locomotives with safety defects. UP has not displayed a sense of urgency to improve locomotive and car conditions.
With fewer qualified mechanical inspectors (QMI) to inspect locomotives and cars, FRA expresses a genuine and urgent concern that compliance with Federal Regulations will continue to decline. Please advise me of your plans to address these system-wide mechanical safety issues.
Sincerely,
Amit Bose
Administrator

Just say the same thing to your director when they are complaining about you not getting your over abundance of work done, “I haven’t been able to get to it yet”.
