UPS Announces Significant Job Cuts Amid Decline in Amazon Shipments

United Parcel Service (UPS) is set to cut approximately 20,000 jobs and shutter over 70 facilities in response to a significant reduction in package volume from Amazon. The decision comes as the company grapples with economic uncertainty and aims to streamline operations.
