This is normal layoffs after peak. The only reason it feels different is because UPS overhired 22.4s.
Usually April (Good Friday week) is when people start taking vacations.

My employer as well. A well respected guy recently left. 32 years. He wasn't fired or laid off, his position was just discontinued. He could have stayed if he took another position, but he didn't want anything else so he's gone.
Unfortunately that's what's happening right now

Even ups once technological is updated they layoff the IT ! when new hardware becomes on line they hire.
And a lot of that technology is also meant to replace management

Depends what new contract says methinks…
Cash in now and promote the business. Don’t take chances with your employment.
We’re in critical times. Trust the process and don’t do anything that is dumb.
Enjoy the game and check back tomorrow
UPS plans to lay off some of its controversial weekend drivers, union reps say, as delivery companies downsize for post-pandemic life
The layoffs will affect a new, lower-paying weekend position created in the most recent labor contract, according to local union chapters.

Been here along time. Heard this narrative for a long time. They aren't downsizing management any time soon.
Don't think too many jobs are safe here anymore
Thank you. Clearly this topic isn’t something you’re familiar with.
Edit: just for your reference, there are 3 million less people working today than in February 2020. That’s ridiculous!

Because unfortunately, we don’t have a provision in the contract stating they cannot. Surepost is another poorly written very vague portion of our contract.Why are we laying off our employees and still pumping out surepost ?

They have to compete with FedEx. If they dropped surepost, we would probably drop it as well.Why are we laying off our employees and still pumping out surepost ?

It's the Boomers fault.
Baby Boomers--those born between 1946 and 1964--make up 28% of the USA's population: 10,000 Boomers reach retirement age every day.
Nearly 29M Boomers retired by 2020, 26M by 2019. By 2030 it will be 75M Boomers, which is being called "The Great Retirement."
One in four workers in the United States is still a Boomer--which means approx 41M are still in the workforce. Guess what: they'll be retiring (or dying working) soon.
So just for your reference, it's Boomers fault.
