Military Times EDGE Names Union Pacific Railroad Among 50 Best for Vets Employers

Omaha, Neb., August 09, 2010 – Military Times EDGE has named Union Pacific Railroad among the 50 Best for Vets 2010 Employers. The publication ranks Union Pacific No. 10 on its list.

In addition, military training in areas such as aviation electronics and diesel engine mechanics provide great skills that easily are transferrable to Union Pacific’s diesel electrician, diesel mechanic and work equipment mechanic positions.”

Best for Vets 2010 Employers were selected based upon veteran recruiting, training and mentoring practices; reserve policies; and corporate culture’s representation, retention, and support of veterans and military personnel.

Earlier this year, G.I. Jobs ranked Union Pacific No.1 on its Top 100 Military Friendly Employers list. Since 2005, Union Pacific has hired approximately 5,000 armed forces veterans.
