Who is the union hating scab making post after post trying to convince everyone that unions are bad? Are you a manager and were you directed to post this nonsense? The unions aren’t perfect, but the reason we have livable wages and healthcare is... — read more

Would you pay union dues if you did not have to?
People deserve the right to work without self-serving bureaucracy. Government technicians and postal workers are able to opt out. Why are we not? If it’s good enough for the government
Have to be available to work at all times
Exhausting. I can’t wait to leave and become unavailable for UP forever. It is not normal for an employee to have to be available to work at all times. Unfortunately, UP wants employees who are willing to give up their family life completely. How... — read more
UP running scared. Their poor reputation on Glassdoor and all social media and network congestion that the CEO has personally answered to.
They are shook and are sending their minions to post on here and other social media outlets for PR control. I love it.
I used to hear directors and executives tell new field managers “I’ve never met anyone that left UP that didn’t regret it.”
Funny now that the layoffs happened and more people keep quitting, everyone I’ve talked to wishes they’d left sooner. Now UP can’t hire enough people and is dealing with major network congestion. Oops.

Let this company live with its mistakes. Let them hire more managers and van drivers. This isn’t goodwill.

The problem is not the railroad but UP
