Do many still really think that after all those who refuse the vaccine and leave UP, this will continue to be 'business as usual' as someone here said? I am not optimistic that it will ever be 'business as usual' again and I think more and more that... — read more 

Stand side by side with your union brothers at Southwest Airlines and Amtrak.

How about we all call in sick on the railroad.

Look at last years COLA increases for the pension. Tier 2 is only .4%. It shrinks with inflation each and every year. Biden is borrowing from your hard work to pay for refugees and lazy people. Tier I Benefit 1.3% Tier II Benefit 0.4%

I just got my email on my up. Its official.

It is time to help out union brothers out!!! STAND TOGETHER!!! https://www.newsweek.com/working-class-americans-are-standing-themselves-left-denouncing-them-opinion-1637577

They also did their first major layoffs last year. Now they’re like Union Pacific complaining nobody wants to work.

Must be too much truth leaking out.

How will UP celebrate? Perhaps another tasteless locomotive?

If this has been a hard-to-bear job so far, with higher inflation it will become unbearable. I intend to leave, I hope to get another offer as soon as possible. Do you think inflation will drive greater attrition here?

Religious or medical exemption will require weekly testing. Got word from our craft's General Chairman today. Thought I would pass it along. Not sure when they plan on announcing it or any other details.

The place was full of cr-p and is flooding out onto the streets now. Watch out for slips trips and falls

I’m sick of how they take employees for granted. It's as if they think that the strategy of 'hire, squeeze, get rid of' will forever succeed in filling their pockets. That strategy hasn’t changed in years, but I hope it finally comes to an... — read more 

I was laid off last year after being with UP for a good number of years. I’m not going to sit here and haw about how the company did me wrong. I bounced back rather quickly but during that time I had to ask myself which I regretted more. All the... — read more 

You can't tell me that the management's behavior is normal or justified by the end results. They continue to willingly destroy the workforce for no reason. What do they gain out of it? I'm not even talking about cuts, but everything else they've done... — read more 

Nobody who has any choice still works here.

No independent thought. Do what you’re told.

Well it’s coming back. Anyone wanna come play trains?

I received a postcard in the mail that UP is offering a $10,000 transfer incentive for all furloughed mechanical and engineering employees who transfer to either train crew, mechanical, or engineering positions. Makes me wonder how long they would... — read more 

Sad. #metoo

When G3 was "idled" was there a sell off of major assets like intermodal lifts and the like? Or if not sold off perhaps moved to another UP facility? Thanks

Heard between rides quite a few more guys quit today. A manager, machinist and a electrician. Also heard they aren't gonna be the last between retirees and people fed up.

The other day I almost made a serious mistake. The reason is that I'm too tired. It is impossible for one person, no matter how skilled and experienced, to be so overwhelmed with work and not make a mistake at some point. I decided to quit... — read more 

If you haven't left UP yet after they showed you who they really were, you deserve whatever they do to you. Capitalism gives them the right to put shareholders first, and treat us like garbage, but it also gives you the right to find a place that... — read more 

At the end of the day the unskilled union crafts at UP make $5 more an hour than fast food workers.

Work hard the shadow government depends on you.

I keep seeing more of the same old thing. Managers and directors keep harassing hopelessly over loaded employees with threats that they are not complying and/or not doing their jobs completely. (what did they think would happen after all the cuts?)... — read more 

I and many others in my san Antonio service unit do not believe the positive numbers the survey shows .what do you guys think?

I've heard about the semi-serious hiring being done at a few locations. Why do the hiring now? Wouldn't it have just been easier to keep enough people on hand in case things started getting out of hand like EVERYONE predicted it would? Hey Fritzy... — read more 

The unseen hand strikes again. Worse than the media.

UP is trying to hire hard on the LASU and provide protection for West Colton, Gemco, SLO and Yermo and LB and LA harbors. Please hire on. We need days off.

How in the he-l are you supposed to count on the union to protect you when they can't even protect themselves?! PEW PEW!!!! I sure hope they are fighting harder for your contracts than they do for themselves!
