UPS plans to cut up to 30,000 jobs amid cost-cutting push involving Amazon
United Parcel Service says it plans to reduce its workforce by as many as 30,000 jobs this year as part of a broader effort to cut costs and streamline operations.
During a company earnings call Tuesday, UPS Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes said the reductions will focus on operational roles and are expected to be carried out primarily through attrition. He added the company plans to offer a second voluntary separation program for full-time drivers.
Dykes also outlined additional cost-saving measures, including plans to close about two dozen facilities in the first half of 2026 and expand the use of automation across UPS’s delivery network.
The Atlanta-based company employs about 490,000 workers worldwide.
The job cuts accelerate UPS’s ongoing consolidation strategy, which has been driven in part by its decision to scale back deliveries for Amazon. In 2025, UPS announced a goal of reducing Amazon-related package volume by 50% by the second half of 2026.
UPS Chief Executive Officer Carol Tomé said the company saved $3.5 billion last year through consolidation and efficiency efforts. The company had previously announced plans to cut 20,000 jobs in April 2025 as it handled fewer Amazon orders.
Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
