WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – United Parcel Service (UPS), an American shipping giant, will cut about 12,000 jobs around the world over the coming months amid a continued decline in revenue, Director of Financial and Strategy Communications at UPS Brian Hughes said on Tuesday.
"In 2023, dynamic external and economic conditions led to lower volume and a more than $9 billion decline in revenue year over year. As a result, today UPS announced plans to right-size its global staffing and eliminate roughly 12,000 jobs around the world over the next several months," Hughes said in a statement to Sputnik.
UPS will provide support to all employees who will lose their jobs, including severance packages and outplacement assistance, the statement added.
