**Source 5: Pulling Back From Amazon, UPS Will Cut Up to 30K Jobs - Newser**
URL: https://www.newser.com/story/382677/ups-plans-to-nix-up-to-30k-jobs.html
Content: Despite that, investors seem to like the overhaul. UPS shares are up more than 35% from last year's low, though they remain 18% lower over the past 12 months; FedEx stock is up 11% over that same period. CEO Carol Tome framed 2025 as "a year of considerable progress," even as UPS retired its MD-11 cargo jet fleet following a November crash in Louisville, Kentucky, that killed three crew members and 12 people on the ground.

Report an error [...] United Parcel Service is getting smaller again. The package giant said on Tuesday that it expects to eliminate up to 30,000 jobs in 2026, largely in delivery and warehouse roles, as it pushes to cut costs and improve profits. That follows a far bigger reduction last year, when UPS shed 62,000 positions, including full-time drivers, warehouse staff, managers, and seasonal workers, per the _New York Times_. The company says the latest cuts are tied in part to a planned pullback from Amazon—long its biggest customer, but, by UPS' account, not a profitable one. [...] The news lands at a moment when hiring has cooled nationwide and more Americans say jobs are getting harder to find, according to Conference Board survey data cited by the _Times_. The company is also shrinking its physical footprint and leaning harder on automation. In 2025, UPS closed 93 facilities and added automation at nearly five dozen more; Dykes said 24 additional buildings are slated to shut in the first half of 2026, with more possible. The restructuring comes amid weaker international volumes—particularly from China after US tariffs on lower-value imports—and a modest profit slide: Net income dipped nearly 4% last year, to $5.57 billion.

Harsh winter weather—cold, wind, and rain—is exacerbating already dire conditions for displaced families in Gaza, complicating relief operations and increasing health risks for those with limited shelter and supplies [[3]](https://abcnews.go.com/International/video/harsh-winter-conditions-compound-humanitarian-crisis-gaza-129637508).

Business watch: UPS to eliminate up to 30,000 jobs
United Parcel Service said it plans to cut up to 30,000 jobs in 2026, following 62,000 reductions last year, as it pulls back from lower-margin Amazon volume, closes more facilities, and leans further into automation. The company cited weaker international demand—particularly from China amid tariff effects—and a modest profit dip last year. Shares have rallied off 2025 lows even as the broader labor market shows signs of cooling [[4]](https://www.newser.com/story/382677/ups-plans-to-nix-up-to-30k-jobs.html).

What to watch
- Ukraine: Signals of further strikes on civilian infrastructure and rail lines.
- U.S. weather: Grid stability and warming-center capacity as the cold persists.
- Gaza: Access for aid convoys and shelter from the elements.
- Labor markets: Knock-on effects from logistics restructuring and corporate cost-cutting.
