UP nothing but lies & contradictions
UP's press releases still cites efficiency as reason for employee reductions, yet many of the departments cut, have employees working 6 days the very week after the cuts, if they were for efficiency, then the work load would not have to increase for... — read more

Metra vs UP
Why does the STB refuse to intervene? Any new rumors?
When will it be enough?
I wonder what it'll take for our leadership to realize there's nobody left to cut? That we actually need some people to be able to function? Do they think things will continue to run just because they wish it so? It's ridiculous what we have to do... — read more

I haven’t heard about courage to care or total safety culture in a while at my location.
Why do you think they got rid of it? They were always a joke and everyone made fun of the courage to care videos. But I think with Vena here Lance realized he didn’t have to pretend that he cared anymore and he was very relieved he didn’t have to... — read more
Time to strike? When? Ever? No probably never.
