Firstly hilarious that BI is basically just posting message board comments as news.
But also those comments are expectedly hideous.

UPS is now laying off 12000 workers just after 5 months of the so-called “historic” deal (CBS)
From Yahoo Finance (Jan 31, 2024):
Yeah, most of them aren’t gonna see that promised 170k by the end of that five year contract.
Total scum behavior who woulda thought
UPS has also just been awarded to be the primary air carrier for USPS, displacing a 20-year partnership with FedEx. Clearly a very difficult year for them.
last i heard, it was 12000 manager level positions, not the unionized workers
This is from an interview on WSWS from March:
I don’t know if this is psyop or anything but it does seem like it’s affecting a lot of the part-timers. And as I recall, the new contract explicitly restricted the number of conversion to full timers (which I don’t know if they’re being laid off or not).
Just for clarification for anyone that don't know, ups corporate use "layed off" not in the sense of firing people permanently but as a "There's not enough work for the current number of people today, so employees at whatever level of seniority chosen to the bottom of the seniority list are to not come to work today."
Ups fired a bunch of management and contractors but can not fire union employees without cause, leading to the management tactic of 'lay offs'. A short-sighted tactic that they make leaving them constantly one step behind the changing levels of workflow where they cut too hard during low periods then struggle to replenish during the inevitable high periods.
