Our days are finally here. Calling all crafts back and hiring all crafts. Come join the crew. We happy to have ya.

Saw an ad for Apprentice Freightcar repairman job openings. Is that a good job? Came to this sight to get feedback if I should even apply. Reading all these threads, i should stay away. What do you guys think..

When are they going to be call back the Facilities Electricians back in Houston ... it has almost been a year since my job got cut and there is only one Electrician taking care of the whole territory there used to be 5 Electricians.

Has anyone heard any news regarding the return of furlough mechanical employees? Is so, how many per craft and why the return? Did they get a new contract or is it that Colton can’t handle the extra work that was taken away from Los Angeles?

That is all.

Sometimes I really wonder how UP still somehow works, but anything is possible as long as there are those of us who are still here and continue to work under constant burnout. As long as there are people who will agree to such poor working... — read more 

We’ll see how it goes. UP might actually have to abide by the law and the contract. From the article: A district court judge ordered Union Pacific on Thursday to continue its employment in Palestine as required by a prior judgement. As for what... — read more

UP not going to like this.

How good do you think their job is? Who would like to be a manager at UP? Despite the fact that many believe that managers in UP do nothing, I would not like to be a manager in this company even for a single day. I can’t wait to get out of here and... — read more

Did the strike we have been hearing about for months happen or was it just a bunch of hoiey?

A proud moment for us all.

I read that his time was up at he end of June. Well, June has come and gone now. Is he still around? Will the executive team announce he's leaving the company. I hope they do announce his departure. Him leaving I definitely want to see, but the... — read more 

Will we actually get a safety feed or will it be another reusable water bottle like last year?

Is everything be else’s service unit imploding also? We can’t move a train by is without at least 1 revere. It seems everyone has been pushed to the limit

I believe truck drivers are the heart of the railroad. Without us how would materials and equipment get delivered. Always be safe a use the biggest strap-ons you have.

So now that they called back electricians. When will us machinist get called back heard rumor was in the works of calling back quite a few. So no more layoffs expected in North Platte i see.

First off, I don’t work for UP (I have a relative that worked for UP that left for better employment and I visit this site because I am interested in the dynamics of organizations that downsize). I don’t understand why the employees stay with this... — read more 

PSR strikes again. Yesterday around 2pm the NPPR derailed in Ames Iowa taking out both main lines and spilling Hazmat while putting almost 30 cars on the ground . Locals had to be evacuated. I really hope the shareholders are ok.

How many times have you heard that sentence? I can’t believe they say that to their employees. They don't seem to understand that the point is not for people to quit, but that the point of their job is to get the best out of people and do... — read more

I wish every district could have a compa. There’s nothing better than coming to work on the railroad with the grumpiest, man-Gina that complains about everything. Maybe he should bid out.

Wonder how many decline to return before one accepts?

Chicken man chickened out so they brought in the sherif to clean the place up. About time they got rid of the good ol boy club. Play time is over boys.

Broke the contract with the cleaning people during COVID-19 . Now the college interns are doing the dirty work. I wonder if they’ll be back for a second semester?

I often wonder what I did wrong in my life to deserve to end up at Union Pacific. I knew before that the situation here is not good at all, but I thought people were exaggerating and it couldn’t be this bad. This is one big joke of a company from... — read more 

How does everyone feel about the new engine? Does it make you feel special inside? Would you rather be laid off if it saved enough money to pay for this new engine and symbol of unity?

I often hear oldtimers lament about the "good old days" when working here was great and everything functioned properly and I have trouble believing that. I can understand a company changing somewhat throughout the years but I can't see this place... — read more
