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.
