From Fortune:

UPS announced plans to cut 12,000 mostly management positions and consider selling its Coyote truckload brokerage business. Despite recent historic benefits for drivers, the company is looking to save $1 billion amid falling revenue with layoffs. White-collar workers are facing job losses and potential replacement by technology. The shift highlights a trend of job cuts among once high-flying tech companies. While labor disputes are impacting UPS’s woes, executives are turning to automation in the form of 3,000 robots to improve efficiency. White-collar union protection is scarce, while blue-collar workers are seeing gains in stability and benefits. The UPS announcement raises questions about the future of managerial jobs and the rise of labor unions among different worker groups.
