This has been the worst year of my life, glad it is over, however there are important legal issues that have to be addressed. One issue in particular involves my injury and termination with Union Pacific railroad. The safety director at the Union Pacific railroad is clever and instrumental key player in the American deception profit mill. Currently according to the local union legal firm a Federal Claim is in the process with OSHA, and a medical law suit is being planned too. Yes, I am also supposed to be a “Whistle Blower”. That is a hoot, I was fired for an immoral question at a safety meeting. I asked a question in reference to OSHA with integrity.
Imagine signing a contract with a legal firm that will charge over four hundred dollars an hour to file and work the claim. However, the law firm said it does not take these kind of issues unless it is sure it will win the law suit and won’t be charged if it is lost.
The legal stuff must be flying because I am asking maximum punitive damages that could result in a fine up to or exceeding two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The Union Pacific railroad said it might drop charges and remove all allegations from my record pending a physical. You know what really is the outrage my injury has already been examined my doctor and a specialist. The Union Pacific Railroad Company declines to pay the medical bills from the emergency room or my therapy. Now I had to go to a company contracted doctor seven months after my injury. Isn’t that hoot.
I have all this documented in an investigation transcript. Plus my own personal experience and witness to very unfair labor practices in personal management and training. Oh yes, training in fictitious areas on paper then being required to work in areas that do not apply to training material is not only with the Union Pacific rail road but system wide.
They say the rules and regulations should apply anywhere. What is called the “slope of repose” used extensively in excavation is different for different areas. The Slope angle of repose is a term OSHA has in much of it safety material but totally ignored by the Union Pacific rail road in safety briefing. I would likely be better prepared to avoid an injury if information about angle of repose was an integral part the footing problems many have to work through in the rail road.
Seriously thinking about writing a book about Union Pacific management and training issues experienced over the years. Especially, about this injury, how the safety management team is trying to ditch the injury so they would not have to report it.
