Dozens of Fort Worth FedEx workers will lose jobs in March. Here’s what to know
A state filing shows more FedEx workers in North Texas are set to lose their jobs, this time at a facility in far north Fort Worth.
The WARN notice submitted to the Texas Workforce Commission on Dec. 29 states that 89 employees will be laid off beginning March 2, 2026.
The filing lists the address as 2001 World Wide Dr. and says the decision is connected to changes in how FedEx organizes and moves its delivery operations.
Here’s what to know about the layoffs and what they mean for FedEx employees.
What does the WARN notice say?
The letter says FedEx is shifting most of the delivery work that operates within 50 miles of the World Wide Drive facility.
Workers at the site were told about the reduction in October.
FedEx said employees who are affected will be able to request transfers to other FedEx locations, take severance, or take a leave of absence while they look for other roles inside the company.
The notice also says the positions involved aren’t tied to a union, so bumping rights don’t apply.
Why are these layoffs happening?
FedEx says the reduction is part of a larger effort to reorganize and streamline its delivery network.
The company has been rolling out a system called Network 2.0, which combines different parts of its delivery operations, so packages can move more efficiently.
As FedEx shifts work between certain hubs, some facilities end up with less activity, which can lead to layoffs or job transfers.
This is part of a broader trend in the shipping and logistics industry as companies adjust to changing customer demand, higher operating costs, and pressure to deliver faster with fewer steps in between.
How does this compare to other recent FedEx layoffs in Texas?
FedEx has gone through several rounds of layoffs in North Texas over the past year.
In May 2025, the company announced that 305 employees at its Independence Parkway facility in north Fort Worth would be laid off.
That site is part of the large AllianceTexas development and plays a major role in FedEx’s local shipping network.
Other layoffs were reported at FedEx sites in Plano, Garland, and another Fort Worth location tied to the company’s supply chain and electronics divisions.
The biggest cut came in November when FedEx said in a WARN notice that it planned to eliminate 856 positions because of a Coppell facility closure.
