FedEx Corporation has announced a significant workforce reduction at its supply chain facility in Fort Worth, Texas, as it plans to lay off more than 300 employees following a client’s decision to move part of its operations to another third-party logistics provider. According to a WARN filing with the Texas Workforce Commission, 305 positions will be eliminated at the Independence Parkway facility, starting from July 6 and continuing through October 25, which constitutes over half of the approximately 580 employees at the site.
The decision by the client to transfer logistics operations was beyond FedEx’s control and reflects changing business needs that have prompted this transition. FedEx has pledged to support those affected by the layoffs with severance packages, relocation assistance, and opportunities to find new roles either within the company or externally. The company anticipates that this transition will be fully implemented by the end of October 2025.
These layoffs at FedEx are part of a broader trend of job cuts across North Texas in 2025, affecting various industries. Chevron is reducing its workforce by 200 in Midland, while Intel is making global cuts that impact local operations. Additionally, the education and public service sectors are not immune, with Lewisville ISD cutting approximately 500 bus driver positions and Child Care Associates in Fort Worth facing potential layoffs for over 300 staff due to federal funding uncertainties. These workforce reductions highlight ongoing economic pressures and strategic shifts within companies operating in Texas.
