Delivery giant UPS recently announced that it plans to cut 12,000 jobs from its workforce. The layoffs will affect employees at facilities in California, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. According to WTOL, a UPS trailer shop in Perrysburg, Ohio, will close and all 38 employees will be laid off. The affected employees include truck drivers, mechanics, and other positions. The UPS employees were shocked by the closure announcement, as the Teamsters union recently agreed to a five-year contract with UPS to avoid a national strike. UPS tells WTOL:

"Our employees are extremely important to us, and we understand the impact this may have on their families. We will work with those who may be impacted throughout the process to provide support."

 

The closure of the UPS Perrysburg shop will take place on April 1st.
