As part of this strategy, FedEx is closing the Pittston facility. These decisions are never made lightly. We&#8217;re committed to supporting impacted employees through job placement assistance, relocation aid, or severance,&#8221; said Westrick in an emailed statement. <\/p>\n<p>Westrick said many of the affected employees will be offered other roles within the company.
