FedEx Layoffs in Texas: Key Facts from Recent Reports

Bloomberg, FedEx Corp. announced plans to eliminate 856 jobs at its Supply Chain Logistics & Electronics facility in Coppell, Texas (located at the 800 block of West Sandy Lake Road), following a customer's decision to relocate its operations to a new site managed by a different third-party logistics provider. This layoff, disclosed in a WARN notice filed with the Texas Workforce Commission on November 26, 2025, stems directly from the client's business transition and is not tied to broader company restructuring. The cuts represent a significant portion of the facility's workforce and are expected to be permanent, with the site's closure finalized by April 29, 2026.

The layoffs will occur in phases starting January 16, 2026, beginning with 62 employees and continuing through April. Affected workers will receive pay and benefits through their last day, and FedEx has stated it will offer severance packages, relocation assistance, and support for finding new roles - potentially within the company or externally. FedEx emphasized that "this action is necessitated solely by our customer’s decision," highlighting the external trigger rather than internal cost-cutting.

This Coppell announcement follows a pattern of Texas-based reductions earlier in 2025, including 305 jobs at a Fort Worth facility (13500 Independence Parkway) starting July 6 and ending October 25 - also due to a client shifting to a new provider - and smaller cuts of 131 employees in Garland and Plano in June. Collectively, these actions have impacted over 1,200 Texas jobs this year, amid FedEx's ongoing Network 2.0 initiative to optimize its delivery network and cut $6 billion in costs by 2027, though the company insists these specific layoffs are customer-driven.

Nationally, FedEx has confirmed at least 4,000 layoffs across more than a dozen states in 2025, part of broader logistics sector pressures including e-commerce slowdowns and client realignments. The Texas Workforce Commission requires 60 days' notice for such mass layoffs under WARN rules, which FedEx complied with. No specific customer was named in disclosures, but the moves align with industry trends where clients like retailers seek cost efficiencies amid inflation and supply chain shifts.
