Union Pacific closes Cheyenne shops leaving 650 jobless
The Union Pacific railroad company permanently shut its Cheyenne shops causing about 650 workers to lose their jobs. Causes cited include the boilermakers strike and high living costs in Cheyenne, with rent and expenses deemed excessive compared with Sidney. The company rejected wage hikes, arguing gains would be offset by higher living costs. The outcome remains uncertain, though Sidney residents hope for reopening.
