another employee has violated the Policy, he or she is obligated to report the violation to his or her manager or

3. Gifts and Entertainment
a. Employees should not accept gifts or entertainment from customers, contractors, vendors and
suppliers and similarly situated third parties if (1) it will influence the employee's decision on
whether or how much to use the third party in business; or (2) the acceptance of the gift gives the
appearance of improper influence in dealing fairly with customers, contractors, vendors, suppliers
or others.
b. Employees are allowed to accept an occasional and non-recurring gift worth up to $100 or
entertainment with a value not to exceed $250 in any single day (or $500 annually) from an
establishment as described under 3.a. above without notification or reporting of such gift(s). For
gifts or entertainment valued greater than these amounts:
a. Pertinent information must be reported in the Company's Gift Database.
b. In addition, a single or cumulative calendar year gift(s) from one establishment worth more
than $200 or entertainment worth more than $1000 may not be accepted without pre-approval
from a department executive or compliance officer. Note that receipt of cash or a gift card from
a third party (or the type mentioned in 3.a) is typically not allowed, but, if kept, the item must
be documented in the gift database.
c. Because of laws that restrict the Company, through its employees, from making gifts to
government officials, employees may not provide gifts or entertainment to government officials,
including (1) House of Representative and Senate members and their staffs and immediate
family members, (2) Executive Branch political appointees, their family members, and other
designees specified by the appointee, and (3) federal agency, active military and state and local
government personnel. This ban is subject only to limited exceptions as set forth in the
Company's Gifts to Government Officials Policy. This gift prohibition does not restrict any
employee's rights to participate, as a private citizen, in the political process.

17. Organization Targets
 Organizational goals –To be the premiere line haul freight
railroad
 Organizational strategies – Because of the large size of UP,
hundreds of yards throughout its rail network are needed to
effectively handle the daily transport of goods from one place
to another. To reduce overall emissions, Union Pacific is
acquiring a new generation of environmentally friendly
locomotives for use in Los Angeles basin rail yards.

18. Organizational Management
 Organizational leadership philosophy – The philosophy I wish
to bring is a system of checks and balances, such as, the
three Branches of Government. None was given about the
company.
 Actual (or perceived) management style – This is a
Monarchy style management system, with a CEO answering
to shareholders, at an annual shareholders meeting.

19. Organizations Management Style
 Eric Butler-Executive Vice President-Marketing & Sales
 Ivan Jamie- Director-Border Policy and Community and
Safety Affairs
 Rob Knight- CFO and Executive Vice President-Finance
 Gayla Thal- Senior Vice President-Law and General Counsel
 Jim Young- Chairman

20. Organizational Safety Mission
 Commitment to Safety
 There goal is to entirely eliminate accidents. Through their
UP CARES public safety initiative, strategic partnerships and
own highly trained police force, they are always working
toward that goal.
 Through the use of their own police force, rule infractions will be
met with legal action.

21. Safety Management Style
 The different Departments in the Safety Department are:
 UPS CARES
 Safety Through Security
 Technology Advancement Simulations
 The Safety Department has the Badge of Courage, which
symbolizes that which Union Pacific strives for-
EVERY EMPLOYEE GOES HOME SAFE

22. Safety Management Style
 How will management team select, motivate, and train staff?
 Make sure correct credentials are obtained, motivated by pay
increases, at a self taught pace
 How will management follow with evaluation and
appraisal/discipline with staff?
 With Bi-annual Reviews( Testing Included)

23. Safety Management Style
 My management style will ooze confidence. I will be a
confident Manager, there will be a noticeable difference from
a “Stuck Up” or “Obnoxious” leader, as corrections shall not
be frowned upon. Instead They will be rewarded. Education
will be expected. Continuing education will be a requirement.
Everyone can learn something new every day. When you
stop learning, then it is time to quit.

24. Safety Management Style
 This project has helped me seek outside points of view for
interpreting broad, open statements, and find outside
opinions for ideas of management styles and ideas, as well
as how to set limits to objectives.
 Leadership is the head of a team/group, were as,
Management oversees a specific aspect of a larger body.
Using ICS as an example: Leadership is used primarily by
the Incident Commander, and Management is used by
Department heads (i.e. Operations).
