March 24 (Reuters) - United Parcel Service ( UPS )

notified the International Brotherhood of Teamsters that it was

withdrawing its latest driver buyout scheme in central region

states, the union said on Tuesday.

The move comes a month after the delivery giant announced

its plans to proceed with offering $150,000 buyout packages to

its drivers after a federal judge rejected the union's bid to

block its workforce-cutting program on contract violation

concerns.

On February 9, Teamsters sued UPS for its January 27

announcement plan to cut up to 30,000 jobs and shut 24

facilities as it moves away from millions of low-profit

deliveries for Amazon.com ( AMZN ), its largest customer.

"The latest buyout, which the company calls the Driver

Choice Program (DCP), had asked drivers to accept a one-time

lump sum payment in exchange for legally committing to never

work for UPS again," Teamsters said on Tuesday.

The Teamsters Central Region encompasses 13 U.S. states and

is home to more than 68,000 rank-and-file union represented UPS

employees.
