Re: Is UP going into another meltdown again?

I recently had a job out of town where I got to talk to folks I've not met before. Being raised in a resort, I tend to converse with strangers a lot. One guy who was a supervisor in a mill told me that they would hire young folks, and then they wouldn't show up, or, in one case, would show up 15 minutes late every day. He explained to the young man that everyone needed to be at the work station when the shift started so the product could move through the mill. This guy just didn't get it, couldn't understand why that was important. At a restaurant that night, I commented on the "help wanted" sign. I was told it was very difficult to find anyone--they had just hired two folks, one never showed up for work, the other stayed one day and disappeared.
Combine that with, apparently, drug tests, and the available, willing, work pool shrinks quickly.
