I know we are going to get lowballed before Sept. 16, 2022. Our union officials will come to terms with UP. Just be happy we all have jobs after this..

Why won't they at least help out the people who work extra board by getting rid of guarantee and also exempting extra board workers from attendance policy and just stack the shyt out of all extra boards. The positive is They pay no guarantee .and... — read more

Your heads not in the game, worrying about new contract. Bo-m, 30 days on the ground. Be careful out there gentlemen.

Go back to my craft. According to TCU, the agreement recommended 24% raise. Shoot, I'll make alot more money and not be part of the shatt show anymore.

Strike will only make things worse. Maybe even give us less than 4% when said and done. Be careful what we ask for. You may think we get backpay. That backpay will be sucked up by the increase in medical we didn't pay for, for the last 5 yrs. Just a... — read more 

When will this stop at UP?

I hope we reach an agreement soon. Trying to figure out if I have to get a second job to cover my medical. I was told that the max wage increase will not be over 5% in a 2 yr. contract. Basically we would be in the negative due to the increase in... — read more

There hasn't been enough work for the past few months. I'm not sure if this is an indicator of my future here but if it is and I'm to be laid off, bring it on. With so much toxicity and so little to do, I can think of many better things to do with my... — read more 

As of August 2022 Unionpacific Will and is cutting and abolishing jobs. The ultimate goal is to dissolve all Union employees and Use Contractors. McDonald’s style business plan structure.

The raise we are going to get won't even absorb the cost of insurance. Seems like the board is on the companies side.

With that said alot of jobs will be absorbed by contractors. UP forcasts alot of resignations after the contract is final. The big dogs know what they're doing. They don't care about employees, as long as there is profit for the shareholders.

214 open jobs listed on up.com today.

Any guess what the medical monthly cost will be with the new proposal? Please no hot dog or dead fish comment!

The yard I work in can’t keep the new guys around. You could give some of these guys a 50% pay raise and most I believe would still quit. I hear complaints about the difficulty of the work, weather, walking, climbing, attendance, poor moral... — read more 

22% raise over the contract. Low end of the deal. Back wages, $1,000 for working every year of the contract. Health. 15% of the total cost of the plan every year staring on Jan 23. Figure $500 from $228. On a $40,000 health program that the... — read more 

They're going to agree with a 3.5% raise 2 yr. contract, new rules, attendance policy and a terrible medical plan. If they strike, contractors like rail link g&w will take the jobs.

My experience is that those who complain the most are precisely those who are too lazy to polish their resumes and try to get something better. I can't believe that someone who really tries to find a better job can't get anything better. Please... — read more 

The PEB recommendation is out. The current polls show 94% disapproval with the offer. So after the cooling off period Unions will be going on strike. Enjoy running your trains with zero crews Lance.

If your serious about recalling someone after being furloughed for 2 years. You might want to make it more enticing than a Headquarters job 20 hours from home. Just saying.

UP will follow. Union will agree with a $3/hr. increase.

These constant posts encouraging a strike or to quit, the ones that lack depth and seem repetitive. I think its a manager(s) who are pushing for single man crews. Its the old find a way to turn a loss into a win, business strategy. Inflation... — read more 

After reading all these posts, I hope they don't call me back for the job.

News flash! Your next job will suck and so will the one after that. This place is a s***ho-e. Don’t let the “leadership” deceive you. Get out while you can.

Union is ready. Picket signs are being made as we speak. Guarantee we go on strike! Show em we need safety and more money. This is going to cause the recession for sure brother.

As long as we work for the railroad, 19 yrs. of seniority doesn't hold much these days. I will never have a dayshift or a saturday or sunday off unless I layoff. Time for me to start looking for another line of work. Shouldn't be hard. Tons of jobs... — read more 

Hold hands in hopes of a contract. A raise would be nice. Talking to alot of reps in different locations, we need to strike regardless. In the end we always get shafted. The new attendance policy if it goes thru, will definitely suck. Medical is... — read more 

I think that some hope in vain that things will improve here. Can the situation get better here? Not really. Can it get worse? Yes it can. What is the miracle that needs to happen for UP to start valuing us more?

We all know we are NOT getting that raise, if we do our medical will be thru the roof. New rules will definetly be in the new contract. It may lead to a strike. The hardball L.F. is playing, he's going to be the winner of this game!

It is obvious that it is getting more and more difficult for UP to find new employees. Have you ever been asked to refer a friend to a vacancy?

Does anyone know how UP evaluates managers? This interests me because I have noticed that the worst managers who cause excellent employees to leave the company remain in their positions. On the other hand, I once had a great manager who did not stay... — read more 

Washington DC elected reps approved hiring 80,000 more IRS agents . Anybody want to work for them ?

How is UP going to run without the adequate manpower? Excessive overtime, forced overtime.. cutting corners. Hire convicts + bonus. That will work!

FRA states psr is here for a reason. Sure it's cutting manpower. The efficiency shows in numbers. As a company they strive for profits. The workforce will continue to downsize as effective efforts in streamlining continues
