Health & Support
Total Safety Culture
Union Pacific employees are fully dedicated to safety. Our participation in the Total Safety Culture (TSC) program—owned and managed by employees—demonstrates our commitment to training, observation, and feedback as essential components of a safe work environment.
Friend to Friend Network
Supporting an average of five families daily, the Friend to Friend Network is open to all Union Pacific employees, retirees, and their immediate family members facing medical or housing emergencies. Contributions can be made through payroll deduction or one-time donations. Ambassadors may register for access to additional resources. Questions about applications can be directed to a committee member.
FRSA, Whistleblower, and OSHA information is available on the Documents page.
Teladoc & Sick Days
If you need to use a Paid Sick Day but aren’t visiting a doctor in person, Teladoc offers a quick and affordable option:
- Call the Teladoc number on the back of your insurance card
- Pay a $10 co-pay for a virtual appointment
- Receive a doctor’s note by email — valid for sick day documentation
Important: Sick days for family member illnesses may not be covered. Ask your union rep about intermittent FMLA if you or a family member has a qualifying condition.

Asbestos Information
Railroad workers have long been exposed to hazardous substances—none more pervasive than asbestos. Used throughout the industry in insulation and components of locomotives, asbestos has endangered countless employees.
Repair shops, steam engines, diesel engines, cabooses, and brake systems all used asbestos in some form. Workers may have unknowingly brought it home on their clothes, exposing loved ones as well.
