  • "Union Pacific (UP) has a strong commitment to hiring our nation's military and veterans, whose backgrounds make them ideal candidates for many railroad jobs. We find these talented veterans by employing a military-specific recruiting plan. UP has partnered with the www.lllinoisJobLink.com for many years to post a multitude of openings encompassing not only openings in Illinois, but for positions throughout our 23-state operating system. Last year, UP hired 1,727 veterans, or 28 percent of new hires, up from 24.6 percent in 2013. And 164 ofthose hires - 10 percent - were disabled veterans. Today, approximately 19 percent of all Union Pacific employees are veterans. UP also donates funds from a veteran hiring tax credit to the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), the premiere organization which assists injured service members as they transition back to civilian life. In 2014, UP was proud to present the WWP a check for $150,000. Union Pacific remains committed to actively recruiting the many talented troops returning home from service and feels privileged to be able to repay a small part of our nation’s debt to them through this service.” Mikael Johnson, Recruiting Manager Union Pacific
