    UPS said the layoffs were part of a broader effort to cut costs and reshape the company to better adapt to shifting market dynamics, as executives face pressure to stem a long-term decline in the share price, which has fallen by more than 20 percent this year.

    UPS shares rose following Tuesday’s release, and were up over 7 percent at the time of writing.
