UPS to cut 20,000 US jobs on slashed Amazon deliveries as US tariffs weigh

Los Angeles – United Parcel Service (UPS) said on April 29 it would slash 20,000 jobs and shut 73 facilities as part of a planned reduction in deliveries for Amazon.com, and amid US President Donald Trump’s tariffs that are roiling global trade.
A UPS spokesperson said the layoffs are due to the shedding of 50 per cent of shipping volume from Amazon.com, its largest customer, as well as ongoing cost-cutting and efficiency projects under a major operational restructuring.
......
UPS is contractually obligated to create 30,000 jobs under its current national master agreement with Teamsters, the union’s general president Sean O’Brien said.
“But if the company intends to violate our contract or makes any attempt to go after hard-fought, good-paying Teamsters jobs, UPS will be in for a hell of a fight.”
