It includes, among other benefits, higher wages and air conditioning in delivery trucks.

This is great news, but it's obscene that it took until 2023 and the hottest summer in recorded history for them to finally give UPS drivers air conditioning.

The two side reached a tentative agreement early on safety issues, including equipping more trucks with air conditioning equipment. Under the agreement, UPS said it would add air conditioning to U.S. small delivery vehicles purchased after January 1, 2024.

It's even more fucked than that, it's not even their entire fleet, just "more" trucks, and newly purchased ones after Jan 1. No mention of anything purchased between now and Jan 1, either.

That is disappointing that the union just rolled over o that one. Yeah, it's fucked alright!
