Comment on US delivery workers swelter in record heat – many without AC in their vans

I don’t remember all the details, but the contract UPS signed as a strike loomed included A/C in all new vans.
They will fix, update, retrofit, duck tape, weld and repaint the existing vans until the wheels absolutely fall off. For years.

As if they weren’t already doing that.
But, even that concession was actually bullshit. UPS already announced they are shifting to an electric fleet. For EVs, the AC and heating systems are also used to maintain the battery temperature. So the AC system was going to be there regardless for those new vehicles.
