UPS

Shipping giant UPS plans to temporarily close distribution facilities in California and Colorado, resulting in 849 employees being laid off.

The closure of the package processing facilities are part of strategic initiatives and cost-cutting measures announced in March. UPS said it will close about 200 distribution centers over three years and automate more package processing facilities to save $3 billion by 2028.
