OSHA finds against UP for whistleblower incident

Here we go!..

What happened?

UP management has never heard of the concept of a cover-up often being worse than the original problem? Really!?!?!?!

Tell us more.

Here is slightly more info from the Associated Press:

and here is the OSHA press release:

I love the UP & would like to know more about what really happened. How does one prepare an appeal without needed information? Us arm-chair engineers would feel we need to know more.

After searching a few Nebraska newspaper websites with no success (the story seems to have disappeared) I finally found more info on this link: http://www.ksn.com/news/state/story/Union-Pacific-ordered-to-pay-whistleblower-fine/fijj73VpR0eicLq4wu9XlQ.cspx
