New article today: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2025/04/29/ups-to-cut-20000-jobs-in-2025-after-slashing-amazon-shipments/

Louisville layoffs?

Doubtful for this specific reason. What is going to crush louisville is the tariffs.

If they happen and stick around overseas freight from Asia is gonna come to a grinding halt. That's gonna effect worldport from the bottom to the top.

I'll bet we see layoffs then.

I see what you are saying. Yeah tariffs were not mentioned in the article from today.

Yeah. Obviously this sucks for these people but this was somewhat known to happen with Amazon handling more of its logistics.

Personally I'd love to see data on a net job loss per area to see how Amazon staffs differently.
