On July 3 local time, United Parcels (UPS) announced that it will launch "the largest network restructuring in UPS's history" and provide a voluntary resignation buyout solution to full-time delivery drivers in the United States for the first time, reducing costs and improving operational efficiency in an unprecedented business environment.
It is reported that UPS announced in April this year that it would lay off about 20,000 employees worldwide as part of its overall cost reduction and efficiency enhancement plan, and will also close dozens of facilities to cope with the reduction in parcel volumes of its largest customers, cut excess capacity and increase profits.

"This is the first time UPS has offered a voluntary program to full-time U.S. drivers, and if they choose to leave UPS, participants will receive a generous financial compensation and retain their original retirement benefits, including pensions and health insurance," UPS said in a statement.
UPS also said it had contacted the driver union on this issue as part of the contract negotiations and said it "continues to commit to fulfilling all agreements reached in the 2023 contract."
The president of the American International Truck Driver Union, which represents UPS employees, publicly accused UPS of the moves that violated the labor contract negotiated in 2023, "UPS is trying to evade the promise of creating quality union jobs in the United States with a humiliating buyout clause."

Under the agreement, UPS should add 22,500 new union positions in the next few years.O'Brien stressed that UPS's move "constitutes an illegal breach of contract."A union spokesman said the union encouraged its members to ignore and reject the plan.

Since the beginning of this year, many American giant companies have carried out layoffs of different scales. Under the market pressure brought by the US tariff policy, the scale of layoffs of American companies is constantly breaking records.The Trump administration’s abuse of tariffs and the impact of the trade war will have an impact on the supply chain and will have a huge impact on freight volume and logistics positions.
At present, the global economy is facing many challenges, and enterprises are facing pressure to transform and upgrade, reduce costs and increase efficiency in order to grow and even survive.This trend is spreading to the global logistics supply chain field, and layoffs are one of the measures to reduce costs...
