The U.S. Labor Department has ordered Union Pacific to pay an engineer $24,823 for forcing the employee to continue working while ill. Officials say the engineer told UP officials that he was too sick to continue working safely, but railroad officials intimidated the engineer and persuaded him not to seek medical attention. Railroad spokesman Mark Davis says Union Pacific plans to appeal the decision.b The incident happened while the engineer was travelling between Green River and his home base of Pocatello, Idaho.
