United Parcel Service to Close Raleigh, NC Office
January 31, 2008 – 6:29 pmUnited Parcel Service is closing the Raleigh office it has leased for the past 20 years and is cutting 60 local jobs as the package-delivery company consolidates its operating districts.The Raleigh district office, which had employed 160 people in administrative and management positions, will close by March 31. The change does not affect delivery drivers. After eliminating the two-story, 14,000-square foot office on Navaho Drive near Duke Raleigh Hospital, the Atlanta-based company will operate out of a single North Carolina district headquarters in Charlotte.
UPS will keep 100 jobs in Raleigh, but those employees will report to different offices, some of which are to be determined, spokeswoman Kristen Petrella said.
