FedEx Layoffs 89 Jobs Cut In Fort Worth Area Starting March 2026 Image by Karolis KavolelisShutterstock
FedEx has disclosed another round of layoffs in North Texas, this time affecting dozens of workers at a Fort Worth-area facility, according to summaries of the statute provided by the Galo Law legal blog.
The WARN Act applies when an employer plans to lay off at least 50 workers at a single site of employment, subject to specific thresholds and exceptions. Employers must notify affected employees, any union representatives, the Texas Workforce Commission, and local workforce development officials. Certain exceptions allow for shorter notice periods, though employers are still required to provide as much notice as practicable.
The newly disclosed Fort Worth-area layoffs follow a series of recent FedEx job reductions across North Texas.
In a separate WARN filing published in November, the company said it would eliminate 856 positions tied to the permanent closure of a Coppell logistics facility by spring 2026, DX reported. That shutdown was attributed to a customer’s decision to transition operations to a different third-party logistics provider, the company said in its letter to state officials.
Earlier in 2025, FedEx Supply Chain Logistics & Electronics reported additional layoffs affecting hundreds of workers at facilities in Fort Worth, Garland, and Plano, according to prior WARN filings and local reports. Those reductions came amid broader changes in the shipping and logistics sector, which has seen companies restructure networks and consolidate operations.
FedEx recently faced scrutiny for its embrace of H-1B labor following a multi-billion-dollar federal contract, DX reported.
