UPS cut 48,000 positions in the first nine months of 2025.

United Parcel Service (UPS) on Tuesday said it had cut 48,000 positions in the first nine months of 2025.

The Atlanta-based company said the reductions comprised 14,000 roles primarily in management, alongside around 34,000 cuts within its “operational workforce”—employees involved in its day-to-day logistics and delivery services.

When contacted for comment, UPS directed Newsweek to Tuesday’s release and emphasized that the 48,000 cuts had already occurred.
