Walmart cuts over 2,000 jobs in e-commerce warehouses

Walmart Inc.’s job cuts at five US e-commerce fulfilment centres will affect more than 2,000 positions, according to regulatory filings, though impacted employees may find other roles at the company.

The losses include more than 1,000 positions at a warehouse in Fort Worth, Texas, the state’s workforce commission said Monday. The retail giant is also anticipating a reduction of almost 600 jobs at a Pennsylvania fulfilment centre, 400 in Florida and about 200 in New Jersey. An additional reduction is planned in California.

The regulatory filings add precision to the staffing cuts at the Walmart warehouses, which the company confirmed last month without quantifying.
