Union Pacific notified us they will not be participating in the multi-employer bargaining coalition for the upcoming bargaining round (see attached). They served their Section 6 notice to all UP General Committee’s, and each General Committee served their own Section 6 to Union Pacific (both attached). We held the initial conference with UP on December 5, 2024, to discuss the bargaining process and schedule future meetings. UP wants to negotiate a system wide agreement but has committed to negotiating items specific to each General Committee separately. The next meetings are scheduled for February 19-20 and on March 19-20.
