Hey guys, I am a Carman for UP and just curious what the word is in other units. Our work has been cut to a minimum, no OT. We have lost a few smaller yards to contractors(TTX and Progress) and I am just curious if every other SU is cranking down on hours like we are. We are getting big with the UP way and OPC process and really being scrutinized on man hours versus AAR billing hours. It feels like we are on the cutting block. How's your Car Dept looking?
