UPS revealed the job cuts in its earnings report released today, which it says are linked to “lower volumes from our largest customer,” Amazon. The company announced earlier this year that it will decrease its Amazon deliveries by more than 50 percent by the second half of 2026.
The layoffs will affect around 4 percent of the company’s 490,000 employees. UPS also plans to close 73 of its buildings by the end of June.

In a statement published on its site, Wiley says AI developers must obtain a license to use its content for AI training and development. “Wiley has consistently and publicly reserved all rights in our copyrighted materials; no implied permission exists absent a proper license,” it says.
Last month, Wiley announced that while it will allow writers to use AI tools in their manuscripts, they should be a “companion to their writing process, not a replacement.”
