Some of Union Pacific's first employees were Civil War veterans, and through our nearly 160-year history, we've consistently supported the military – whether by moving troops and supplies, or by providing good jobs for veterans and reserve-duty soldiers. We recognize that members of the U.S. military are dedicated individuals who bring unique experience and skills to Union Pacific. More than 17% of employees have military experience, with some still active in the National Guard or Reserves. In the last five years, 22% of new hires were veterans. Union Pacific complies with USERRA, which provides leave and reemployment rights.
