Comment on Kate Aronoff spent the week talking to UPS Teamsters from around the country about what it’s like to deliver hundreds of packages in a heatwave, in a country without workplace protections for heat

Compared to my USPS driver, who is driving a new Mercedes van with good A/C and altered routes over the summer months to shorten drivers’ time in heat.

Before anyone flips at “Mercedes”, their work vans are very cost competitive with Chevys.

It’s almost as if being in a union might be a good thing.
