UPS to Cut 20,000 Jobs and Close 73 Facilities After Amazon Breakup
Share on TelegramShare on TwitterShare on FacebookShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • UPS is cutting 20,000 operational jobs and closing 73 buildings in 2025 after reducing its reliance on Amazon, which accounted for 12% of its revenue.
  • The company is shifting toward automation to reduce labor dependence, including automating label application and trailer loading/unloading.
  • UPS recorded $1.19 billion in net income on $21.5 billion in revenue for Q1 2025, beating Wall Street expectations, but expects lower volume and revenue in Q2.
  • The Teamsters union, representing 330,000 UPS workers, warned of a “hell of a fight” if union jobs are targeted, though UPS says it will adhere to the union contract.
  • UPS expects $400–$600 million in restructuring expenses this year but declined to update its full-year outlook due to economic uncertainty, including tariff impacts.

What Happened?

UPS announced plans to cut 20,000 jobs and close 73 facilities in 2025 as part of a cost-cutting initiative following its decision to reduce package deliveries for Amazon, its largest customer. Amazon previously accounted for 12% of UPS’s revenue, but the delivery giant has been reconfiguring its operations to reduce dependence on the e-commerce giant.

The company is also investing in automation to streamline operations and reduce labor costs, including automating processes like label application and trailer loading.

Despite better-than-expected Q1 results, with $1.19 billion in net income on $21.5 billion in revenue, UPS expects lower volume and revenue in Q2 and cited macroeconomic uncertainty, including tariffs, as a key challenge.


Why It Matters?

The breakup with Amazon marks a significant shift for UPS, which is now focusing on cost efficiency and operational restructuring to adapt to changing market dynamics. The move to cut jobs and close facilities reflects the broader challenges facing the logistics industry, including rising costs, economic uncertainty, and evolving customer relationships.

The decision to invest in automation highlights UPS’s strategy to future-proof its operations, but it also raises concerns about the impact on labor, particularly unionized jobs. The Teamsters union has already signaled its opposition to any downsizing that affects its members, setting the stage for potential labor disputes.

For investors, UPS’s ability to navigate these challenges while maintaining profitability will be critical, especially as it faces headwinds from lower package volumes and economic uncertainty.


What’s Next?

UPS will continue to implement its restructuring plan throughout 2025, with a focus on reducing costs and increasing automation. The company’s relationship with the Teamsters union will be closely watched, as any disputes could disrupt operations.

Additionally, UPS’s performance in the coming quarters will depend on its ability to offset the loss of Amazon’s business with new revenue streams and adapt to macroeconomic challenges, including tariffs and slowing global trade.
