Union Pacific pleas for reversal of US judicial order to disclose video of its CEO
( October 30, 2026, 22:00 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Union Pacific Railroad asked the US Surface Transportation Board to reverse Administrative Law Judge Jenifer Soulikias' decision to publicize the company's video of its CEO Jim Vena's March remarks to shippers attending an industry conference. "If the video is simply designated public, nothing restrains how it is used," Union Pacific wrote. "And nothing requires an excerpt to be accompanied by the full recording. Nor would those seeking to misuse the video have any incentive to include the full context. And because the use of the video would not be limited to this proceeding, Union Pacific may never have the opportunity to directly rebut any distortions of the recording. The purpose of circulating excerpts outside this proceeding would be to portray Union Pacific as unfavorably as possible, and that purpose is served by the clip, not by the context."See attached documents....
