Non-union employees at Atlanta-based UPS are worried about their jobs after the company said it would cut 12,000 positions this year.

After posting revenue losses for 2023, CEO Carol Tomé announced that the company plans to reduce the workforce by 3% to save a billion dollars.

“We have about 85,000 UPS [workers] who are management, and this can be full-time and part-time management. The targeted headcount falls really within that group,” said Tomé.
