🚨 UPS Cutting 20,000 Jobs?!!!! Really… 🤷‍♀️

[Thebrownblob]

There already is.

We have 3 Circle of Honor drivers who are probably 11 hours a day on average.
9.5s are just being paid out.

Pretty sure the company feels like they can outlast them.

Yep

No doubt there will be management cuts but over the past 3-4 years, they've already cut a lot of management so there's a finite number that can be cut.

"Along with the job cuts, the company announced it will also close 73 of its buildings by the end of June 2025 and said that it may target additional buildings for closure."

Closing buildings means hourly as well as operations cuts

They're not bringing any supervisors over to our building from the one that they are closing

Yes I’ve seen it. I remember starting out and they would make senior drivers stay after pcm calling their names out loud to go over production. You could see the frustration.

Pensions will be cut accordingly.

Less money going in every month as the workforce is diminish. The historic contract is helping fuel building consolidation and automation?

I don’t need to remember it I live it. They can’t understand that all stops aren’t created equal. Envelopes and dogfood aren’t equal

It was a psyche move signal to the junior drivers. We would scatter after pcm to trucks.

“In its quarterly earnings statement, the company also mentioned the risk that shifts in global trade policy could have on business. The Trump administration has introduced sweeping new tariffs in recent months that have already began to impact the flow of goods in and out of the country, and around the world.

UPS is keeping customers abreast of tariff developments on its website. It has also introduced a tool called UPS Global Checkout that shows online shoppers the upfront costs they will have to pay in duties, fees and taxes.”

Building consolidation i believe was already discussed pre covid. It was put on hold because of spike in volume

Same here, 30 plus years, 12-13 hours a day and weekly grievances.

The center I work at "might" get cut next year, maybe, to a center an hour and a half away making it so that some drivers will have to drive like 2 hours or more before they make their 1st deliveries. out of like 25 or so of us, at least 10 of us have been affected by all this. Found out this moring from our union rep, some changes are being made for the better for at least some of us.

I would imagine this is from the over hiring during Covid and consolidating buildings an automation. This will be through mostly attrition of retirements not being replaced and layoffs of very low seniority people.

What qualifies as low seniority these days? We don't have any part timers left. Low seniority drivers are working part time on preload already.

Hopefully @BSWALKS gets bumped off of his route

Damn it! We gotta foot the bill again!?

 

[Oh Shoot]

When I was low seniority, there were some high seniority guys that I knew for a fact would go home any day I asked them. They kept food on my table
L O L.
