HOLMEN, Wis. (WFRV) – UPS is laying off dozens of employees in Wisconsin as it prepares to close one of its facilities in June.

According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letter submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, the impacted facility is located in Holmen and will close permanently on June 10, 2025.

The closure will affect 42 workers, including 24 part-time package handlers and 18 full-time employees. UPS says it will try to minimize the impact by offering alternative roles where possible.

The layoffs will affect both union and non-union workers. Union employees, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, will have bumping rights—meaning senior workers can take positions from those with less seniority.

UPS says the move is part of a broader plan to cut $1 billion in costs across its operations.

“UPS has an unwavering commitment to serving our customers around the world. As we announced in January, we are making strategic changes to optimize the volume in our network, improve efficiency and continue to deliver on our customer-first strategy. The changes underway include closing a small percentage of our U.S. operations. Treating our employees fairly remains a top priority for us, and we will continue to provide industry-leading service to customers in every community we serve. We will continue philanthropic investments through The UPS Foundation to build stronger communities, create a healthier environment and advance opportunities for all,” said Karen Tomaszewski Hill, U.S. Media Relations Manager for UPS.
