Dive brief:
- According to a statement from the Airlines on Friday, UPS offers voluntary purchases to its full -time US drivers, which pay $ 1,800 a year and at least $ 10,000.
- According to the UPS employees seen by the dive supply chain, interested drivers must apply for the program between July 18 and 31. Applicants are considered for separation date between August 31 and October 31 “based on local business needs”.
- “If the maximum number of programs is excessive, the approvals will be awarded,” the communications said. “Additional programs may be considered for the separation date between February 1, 2026 and 31 March 2026.”
Dive insight:
The company, called the Driver’s Volunteer Separation Program, is the first time in the UPS date for drivers. The financial incentive through this program is in addition to the retirement benefits such as retirement and health care per UPS.
The word was aired on July 3, when the International Brotherhood of the Teamsters said that the UPS shopping program was moving. These teams make up more than 300,000 UPS employees under a 5 -year contract in 2023.
“Our members cannot be purchased and we will not allow them to be sold,” said Shan Obine, President General of the team. “Teamsters are ready to fight each source with every source to close this illegal shopping program.”
The union urged members to reject the purchase offers in a Linkedin post on Friday. UPS did not specify what would happen if the number of drivers is lower than expected for the app.
UPS is running the purchase program among the major network repairs to increase profitability, including several facilities packages and a reduction in the volume of more than 50 % of Amazon, its top customer. The initiative also comes after the Airlines revealed plans to reduce the United States’ position by almost 20,000 in April.
“Because we work through our network reset, we are steadfast in our commitment to provide reliable and leading services in the industry that expect UPS,” the company said in a statement on Friday.
