FedEx is set to lay off employees in North Carolina as part of its initiative to merge its Express and Ground networks, resulting in the permanent closure of its Durham ship center, affecting 123 workers, and a reduction of 218 jobs at its Raleigh center, effective February 3. This restructuring is aimed at cutting costs and is expected to save the company $2 billion by 2027. Despite these layoffs, FedEx maintains that service levels remain high as it navigates the challenges of integrating its operations.
