UPS will cut the day sort at its Louisville Centennial Hub (LCH) in its latest response to weaker package volumes, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The closure of the sort is expected to result in some job losses, although at this stage it is unclear how many positions will go.
"In our industry, packages equal jobs, and we need to match capacity and the number of jobs with current package volume," a UPS spokesperson said.
Union Teamsters Local 89 said that it was not privy to the details of how UPS intends to end the sort. It described the day shift sort as a relatively small operation.
"Most, or all, its volume can likely be absorbed by the other, larger LCH sorts," it said.
"With LCH's natural turnover rate, as well as the likelihood of the work being moved to the larger sorts, Local 89 does not anticipate a massive impact on our membership beyond shift and schedule changes."
Last year, UPS offered severance packages to hundreds of pilots as a result of lower demand levels.
