UPS is looking to slash about 20,000 jobs and close more than 70 facilities as it drastically reduces the amount of Amazon shipments it handles.
The package delivery company said Tuesday that it anticipates making the job cuts this year. By the end of June, it anticipates closing 73 leased and owned buildings. UPS said that it is still reviewing its network and may identify more buildings to be shuttered.
“The actions we are taking to reconfigure our network and reduce cost across our business could not be timelier,” CEO Carol Tomé said in a statement on Tuesday. “The macro environment may be uncertain, but with our actions, we will emerge as an even stronger, more nimble UPS.”
