The Department of Labor and Workforce Development said on Wednesday that more than 600 employees will be laid off at a FedEx facility in Memphis.
FedEx Supply Chain notified the agency that permanent layoffs will begin on October 11 through the filing of an official WARN Notice.
The impacted company is at 4155 Quest Way. According to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the facility’s workers have no bumping rights and are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
In order to coordinate services with the company and impacted employees, the Greater Memphis Workforce Development Board was alerted.
“The FedEx Supply Chain customer that occupies space at 4155 Quest Way and 5800 Challenge Drive in Memphis will be transitioning a significant portion of its business to a new third-party logistics provider in a new location, and we expect this transition to be complete in October 2025. We are retaining a portion of the business at this location. Team members at this facility were notified in advance, and many will be eligible for other roles within the company. We are committed to supporting affected employees — through job placement assistance, relocation aid, or severance, as applicable, including at other nearby FedEx facilities in the area,” FedEx said in a statement.
