UPS has reached an agreement with the Teamsters union to equip its iconic brown delivery trucks with air conditioning for the first time for new units.
The agreement, announced by UPS on Tuesday, comes as the delivery giant and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters negotiate the terms of a new contract for more than 330,000 U.S. employees. (source)
Unions work, unionize.
They only just now got air conditioners?!?!?!
Yeah itโs a huge win. Those trucks are death traps on a good day. A bunch of drivers died and more got severely ill last year from heat stroke. The temperature in the back of those vans is usually 10 degrees hotter than outside. Itโs terrible, and Iโm so proud of my union for how harshly theyโre negotiating right now. Weโve got a bunch of smaller consessions already but this one was big.
This round of negotiations is difficult. The UPS Overlords are trying very hard to keep their billions of dollars in three pockets instead of spreading the wealth we (the workers) earned for them during the pandemicโs influx of home delivery. Theyโre trying to give us as little as possible and spinning the news articles to make it look like theyโre super generous. Meanwhile almost everyone in my warehouse is on food stamps cuz we arenโt paid shit.
The UPS Teamsters Union are currently voting on whether or not to go on strike in August, so prepare for that. Stock up on essential supplies, just in case. Weโll let everyone know how to support us when the time comes.
This job is my first time being part of a union and I never wanna go back to not having one. Itโs amazing to have so much fighting power.
