‘Big Brother 15’ aftermath: Union Pacific releases new statement on Spencer Clawson’s status
In the wake of some new interviews with Spencer Clawson following his time on “Big Brother 15,” Union Pacific has chose to release yet another statement when it comes to the employment status of the controversial houseguest. And while the company has taken a pretty hard-line stance on him in the past, you could argue that they do not seem to be particularly clear about whether or not he will be returning to work anytime in the near future. (Originally, Spencer said on the live feeds that he was going to be returning to work next month following his Leave of Absence at the railroad.)
Take a look at the full statement below:
“Prior to Spencer Clawson being allowed to return from his Leave of Absence to active duty with Union Pacific Railroad, a formal investigation will be held under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to determine the facts involving Mr. Clawson’s behavior on the Big Brother television show and online live feed. Based on the results of the investigation, Union Pacific will determine the appropriate action regarding Mr. Clawson’s employment status.”
Spencer made it clear during his backyard chat with Jeff Schroeder last night that the union has been apparently fighting for him to keep his job, and he is hoping to be able to go back to a normal life doing something that he claims to enjoy.
During his time in the house, just in case you somehow missed it, Spencer came under fire for a series of offensive and at times misogynistic comments, which he has since tried to say were just jokes. The same goes for a particularly lewd moment where he spoke into McCrae’s microphone and acted like he was obsessed with something related to children.

Spencer spoke about trading sex for a train ride, sleeping on the job, doing drugs on the job, lying about sick days, naming a man he works with who taught him how to sleep on the job, talked about killing another contestants children, child porn and degraded women on a daily basis. He did this to himself. As an adult he must take responsibility.
Why?

His constant, insensitive sexual comments were a problem for me, but he also made statements about smoking pot on the job and that he stole things from his employer. I have to wonder if his union is really trying to keep his job. Why would they want such an individual working along side the other employees?

Spencer Clawson is an obnoxious 30+yr.old pig. Some of the nastiness that came out of his mouth, Proves that! Why would thoughts of “things w/children” even cross his mind…never mind trying to call those “jokes”. Put him bk to work if you will but you & that Union must bge trashy sicko’s!

I’m a huge big brother fan, and I watched the lives feeds all summer. I was watching when he made that comment, and it was tough to hear him, but it was clearly just a guy trying to get a laugh that went too far and in bad taste. they were both also drinking. I will have to say my bf would never speak about women the way spencer does, but…to each is own. There are alot of worse men out there, and he treated all of the women in the house with respect. he really seems to love that marilyn woman; but one thing I found odd was that he spoke aboutt her much more the days after he made that comment…just saying. Pretty sure he realized he said something wrong. He should definitely not lose his job though folks. The people watching the live feeds are filled with cruel losers who dont care about their affects on society, the news, and most importantly, the people in the house. These feeds get mean, out of control, and are an unfair to the house guests. Spencer is nothing sweet to look at, and kind of a dirty pig-but we should still let him work on the rails.
