UPS To Lay Off 20,0ꦐ00 Employees, Shutter 73 Facilities
UPS said it plans to lay off roughly 20,000 employees this year, and close 73 "leased and owned properties" by the end of June. The layoffs and closures will cost about $400 million to $600 million this year, but UPS said the effort will generate $3.5 billion in cost savings in the long run.
"We will leverage our integrated network and trade expertise to assist our customers as they adapt to a changing trade environment," UPS CEO Carol Tomé said.
