Moves cater to high-tech, industrial manufacturing and retail customers

UPS® (NYSE:UPS) today announced the addition of three buildings and the expansion of another in four North American locations, boosting its supply chain solutions network size by nearly 1.2 million sq. ft. Rapid growth of customers in the high-tech, industrial manufacturing and retail industries fueled the demand for new or expanded facilities in Mira Loma, California; Hebron, Kentucky; Louisville, Kentucky; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This marks the second time in 2014 that both the Mira Loma and Hebron campuses increased in size.

UPS is committed to protecting our employees and retirees and will always advocate on their behalf. Our people are our company’s greatest asset and we will stand by our commitment to them both now and in their retirement. The update to the multi-employer pension process being considered by Congress will not change our contractual obligation and no policy will change our commitment to our people.

We are surprised the Teamsters are calling this a bailout and a special interest earmark – nothing can be further from the truth. UPS is standing by its contractual commitment to our union employees under the collective bargaining agreement and has advocated to protect our employees’ benefits during this process.
