UPS to close Louisville facility, affecting 65 employees as part of network reconfiguration

A UPS facility in Louisville, Kentucky, will close on 2 June, affecting 65 employees, according to a federal WARN notice. The Bluegrass UPS facility will impact 45 union employees represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and 20 management staff. UPS, Louisville's largest employer with over 20,000 workers, said it is working to place affected employees in other positions. The closure is part of the company's broader plan announced in January to reduce its global workforce by up to 30,000 positions and close more than 20 facilities in 2026. The restructuring follows decreased fourth-quarter revenue in 2025 and represents what UPS calls the largest US network reconfiguration in its history, aimed at creating a more efficient operation.

UPS cuts Amazon deliveries by 2M daily packages to focus on higher-margin customers

United Parcel Service is reducing its relationship with Amazon, cutting daily package deliveries by 2 million by end of June 2025. Amazon was UPS's largest customer but also its least profitable, with last-mile deliveries offering low margins whilst demanding significant workforce and logistics resources. The move comes as Amazon recently signed deals with the United States Postal Service for around 1 billion annual packages and FedEx for a multiyear agreement. UPS is instead prioritising higher-margin segments including healthcare logistics and small to medium-sized business customers. Whilst revenue will likely decline, with 2026 revenue expected to grow just 1.1% to $89.7 billion, UPS is focusing on margin expansion over revenue growth. The company aims to maintain capacity for more profitable customers.

Applied Materials and Caterpillar outperform as UPS faces labour costs and declining revenue

Applied Materials reported first-quarter revenue of $7.01 billion, down 2% due to falling China sales, but earnings per share surged 75% to $2.54 on improved margins. The semiconductor equipment maker expects industry sales to grow more than 20% this year, driven by AI computing demand. The company holds leading market positions in deposition and etching tools used for chip manufacturing. Its shares have risen over 175% in the past year and more than 35% year-to-date. Meanwhile, Caterpillar is benefiting from data centre growth through its dominance in backup generators. The industrial firm is experiencing strong sales growth and a large backlog for diesel and natural gas engines that provide emergency power for hyperscale data centres.

Teamsters cap UPS driver buyout at 7,500 amid contract dispute over $150K severance plan

UPS and the Teamsters have settled their dispute over a driver buyout programme, agreeing to cap the voluntary scheme at 7,500 drivers nationwide. Under the Driver Choice Programme, employees can receive $150,000 plus retirement benefits to accept early retirement. The programme had been rescinded from 13 central US states in March after the union argued it violated their 2023 five-year national contract. The Teamsters had filed grievances claiming UPS lacked contractual authority to offer incentives without employee and union approval. UPS said applications will be approved based on seniority and business needs. The buyout is part of efforts to shed up to 30,000 jobs in 2026, following 48,000 cuts last year. UPS has agreed not to pursue other severance programmes until the contract expires in July 2028.

UPS pulls $150K driver buyout after union grievances, frustrating Ohio employees

Some Ohio UPS drivers are frustrated after union pressure forced UPS to withdraw its $150,000 buyout programme less than a month before implementation. The programme, called the Driver Choice Program, was designed to allow full-time drivers to voluntarily leave ahead of planned layoffs affecting 30,000 employees. The Teamsters Union, representing 68,000 UPS employees across 13 states including Ohio, filed 37 grievances, arguing the buyout violated union contracts. Despite a judge ruling in favour of UPS, the company pulled the programme on 24 March, just three days before participants were to be notified of approval. The Teamsters celebrated the decision, calling the programme a "scam designed to fuel corporate greed". However, some employees worry those who applied may now face layoffs, with their willingness to leave known to management.
