If you have worked for the Union Pacific Railroad in the past in a training status, however, you were not accepted, do you have any chance of ever being hired again? I want my job back, but, I was never offered an appeals process nor was I there long enough to join the Union. My dad is a local chairman for BLET but he says he can do nothing. How can I get my job back? What do I Do?

Not even God can help you. Count yourself lucky you weren't accepted and seek employment with another carrier.
You must keep in mind that even if accepted, there is a 90 day probation period, often called the "derail", wherein a rail employer can terminate anyone's employment without a formal investigation or even proffering a reason.
I am a BLET member, however my association with the BLE dates back to 1973. What Division is Dad associated with? I have been a member of Locals 415 and 425.

I know that in the mechanical dept. (where I work) during your probation period your application may be rejected at any time (that is, you can be terminated) without reason or recourse.
I know that transportation is different, but during training they don't even need a reason. It may be as simple as your attitude, how well you pay attention, or being easily distracted.
Again, they don't need a reason. reapply, or apply at a different rail.

I understand BNSF is a better road to work for. I know some UP folk and not a few of them say it is just not fun. These are engineers and conductors. Good Luck.

Why weren't you accepted? Were you late all the time? Did you not do a good job? You have to be more specific before I can help you.
