[BigJim]

The UTU is sueing the UP because Managers are running trains because of a lack of engineers because the UP won't promote their conductors and brakemen to that position.

It really seems like UP's management has their heads pretty far up their butts. It sounds like the union has a pretty good gripe. There was another interesting story involving UP further down the page. A woman in Colorado was seriously injured by a UP train, and her family was inadvertently sent a bill. UP apologized, but it really makes me wonder if anyone there has a clue.
