A UPS facility in Louisville will soon shutter.

The Bluegrass UPS facility at 11101 Bluegrass Parkway will close on June 2, affecting 65 employees, according to a Federal Work Adjustment and Retraining Notification, WARN, dated April 1.

According to the WARN filing, 21 part-time and 24 full-time union employees who are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and 20 management employees will be affected by this plant closure.

UPS is the largest employer in Louisville with more than 20,000 workers in the metro.

"Our employees are extremely important to us, and we understand the impact this may have on them and their families," UPS spokesperson Karen Tomaszewski Hill said in an email statement to The Courier Journal. "We are working to place as many employees as possible in other positions. We will work with those who may be impacted throughout the process to provide support."

Employers with more than 100 employees are required to submit advanced notice of mass layoffs and certain plant closings per the U.S. Department of Labor’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

UPS, the shipping and logistics giant, with its largest global facility, UPS Worldport, located in Louisville announced in January plans to reduce it global operational positions by up to 30,000 and close more than 20 facilities across the company in 2026, The Courier Journal previously reported.

This announcement followed a 2025 fourth quarter that saw decreased revenue and is part of a yearslong effort by the parcel company to "reconfigure" its network across the U.S. to be quicker and leaner.

"We’re well into the largest U.S. network reconfiguration in UPS history, creating a nimbler, more efficient operation by modernizing our facilities and matching our size and resources to support growth initiatives. Some positions will be affected, though most changes are expected to occur through attrition," Tomaszewski Hill said. "We’re committed to supporting our people throughout this process.  While our building footprint is changing, our record of reliable pickup and delivery is not. We remain committed to providing industry-leading service to customers in more than 200 countries and territories around the world."

The Teamsters have previously decried workforce reduction efforts by UPS as part of the network reconfiguration, including a recent buyout offered to UPS drivers. Ultimately, the two entities reached an agreement regarding the terms of the buyout offers after the Teamsters filed a lawsuit and utilized the grievance process at its local unions across a dozen states.

"We will use our contract to protect our members to the fullest extent possible," a Teamsters Local 89 spokesperson said.
