You may work for a family run business that treats you fairly, but you sure don't work for the great (tongue in cheek) Union Pacific Railroad. There, you are NOT treated fairly, they will not honor agreements that they themselves agree to. I am glad you work for a good company that treats you right, but DO NOT knock the unions on the RR property, for without them our job would not be safer, as you have said. The carriers do not care about safety unless it is going to cost them money. You are amongst the lucky few that do good without a union, but our job wouldn't be very good without it.
