UPS: Executing a massive rollout to cut 30,000 jobs. Court documents revealed the imminent closure of 22 package processing facilities across 18 states (including major hubs in Atlanta and Dallas) as the carrier winds down its Amazon volume and aggressively shifts to automated fulfillment.
While true, Amazon has been running us around ever since we took them up. They gave us so much volume for such miniscule pay that UPS was paying extra on overtime and grievances that having the Amazon volume wasnt even worth it. Also UPS has a harder time cutting jobs due to the union. We’ve had i think 3 voluntary buyouts to get us to walk away, the last one was 150k straight up, for drivers.
