FedEx To Close 3 Bay Area Facilities, Cut At Least 174 Jobs

SAN FRANCISCO — FedEx will close three Bay Area facilities later this spring, eliminating at least 174 jobs, according to state records.

The facilities include one location in Emeryville and another in Oakland, according to a state Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, which said the facilities had 79 and 95 affected employees, respectively. The locations will close June 2. Both are categorized in the notification as transportation and warehousing facilities.

FedEx said in a prepared statement Wednesday that it would also close a facility in San Rafael.

“FedEx regularly evaluates its network and makes adjustments to align with the evolving needs of the business,” the company said in the statement. “We recently informed employees that FedEx facilities on 63rd Street in Emeryville, Pardee Drive in Oakland, and East Francisco Drive in San Rafael will close in June, and certain team members will be offered opportunities at other FedEx locations.”

Affected workers were notified several months in advance, according to FedEx.
