 Utu Summary
Utu was the Sumerian god of the sun (he is identified with the Akkadian Shamash) and the city god of both Sippar and Larsa, where he had temples bearing the same name "shining house." Utu was the son of the moon god, Nanna, and therefore brother of Inanna and Ishkur.
As god of the sun, Utu was believed to ride the heavens from sunrise to sunset in a chariot pulled by four storm-beasts and then to descend to the netherworld at sunset to continue his circuit until the morning.
Utu was considered to be the helper and advocate of the oppressed, safeguarding the orphan, the widow, and the poor (a task entrusted to the sovereigns), a role that was also attributed to the goddess Nanshe.

 UTU Defends Cew Consists

 UTU sues BNSF   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Railroads and the UTU have always negotiated compensation on a national basis and "BNSF's action in unilaterally pulling out of national handling as to compensation clearly violates" the Railway Labor Act, the UTU told the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The lawsuit was filed in response to BNSF inviting UTU general committees of adjustment to discuss profit sharing and to reach agreement by June 2006 -- an attempt by BNSF to pull out of national handling with respect to the issues of compensation and to handle it at the local level with UTU general committees.
General committees of adjustment have jurisdiction of UTU's agreements covering specific portions of a railroad carrier, or a predecessor carrier that was merged with or bought by another carrier.

The UTU, knowing the BNSF is lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut, said, "Hell, no. We won't be intimidated." The UTU knows how the BNSF operates -- such as the BN's failed attempt years ago to use its subsidiary, Winona Bridge, to beat UTU crew-consist agreements.
Of course, the UTU struck the BN and made it stick in court, eventually winning a good measure of labor protection for trainmen who lost their jobs on BN.
It was only after the UTU became aware of the BLET's attempt to sell-out a UTU-represented employee that the UTU made its own proposal to the BNSF.

 Utu Synopsis - Moviefone
Utu is the Maori word for "Retribution," which sums up the chief motivating factor of this New Zealand-produced drama.
Since it is the scout's own village, he deserts the British army, the better to seek "utu." Leading a vigilante force consisting of his fellow Maoris, Te Wheke kills as many British settlers as he can get his hands on.
The most expensive New Zealand-filmed project to date, Utu was an enormous success upon its first domestic release; the American version runs some 15 minutes shorter than the original.
