Thread regarding UPS layoffs

If 27 more facilities do close in 2nd quarter of 2026 which ones will it be?

Likely rural centers as the goal seems to be picking up B2C packages near big city warehouses and not spread out residential deliveries. However every other package delivery company is after this same easy money. Least work gets more dollars.

Wishing there was better news but seems to be getting worse every quarter. At least the speed of circling the drain is in low gear and not a straight immediate drop to the bottom.

Poor volume and extreme fuel prices are not giving much hope. The majority of the fleet
are huge trucks/gas hogs. It would not be surprising if that 27 reverses to 72 closings in one quarter if fuel and oil prices keep raising. Very sad.

use to be reliable work but the ground is shifting. high gas prices are going to make
this much worse.

@bj you can’t move either for giving up a 3% mortgage rate for a 6.25%.

Age old trick. Close the facility and make the worker drive one and a half hours to next center. Worker quits and company pays no unemployment or severance. This ends any left over still employed workers ever willing to give 110% ever again once they see that happen.
