Union Pacific's Bailey Yard lays off workers due to pandemic
The Union Pacific Railroad Tuesday laid off an unspecified number of workers in Bailey Yard’s mechanical department.
Raquel Espinoza, U.P.’s senior director for corporate communications and media relations, confirmed the first job reductions related to the COVID-19 outbreak at the North Platte classification yard, the world’s largest.
“Union Pacific is experiencing volume declines as the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the country,” Espinoza said in a email. “We are operating fewer locomotives and rail cars, requiring us to reduce our workforce in the mechanical department today.”
