good news, UPS met the deadline for the 1st step of retrofitting delivery vans with air conditioning, but wow, they had to be FORCED to install air conditioning... wtf? How do the UPS boardmembers in their airconditioned penthouse suites not comprehend that they only have jobs because of drivers in vans delivering packages... and AC is required to prevent heat stroke!

UPS met its obligation to retrofit 2,000 parcel delivery vans with air conditioning in the hottest parts of the country by June 1 and recently started a pilot program for piping cooled air into the rear cargo area behind the bulkhead door, where drivers can be exposed to sweltering conditions, Teamsters union General President Sean O’Brien said on Saturday.

 UPS in October agreed to modify 5,000 delivery vehicles in hot zones with air conditioning systems after the Teamsters publicly called out the company for dragging its feet on commitments to purchase or retrofit 28,000 sprinter vans and package cars with in-cab air conditioning by the summer of 2027 to protect drivers from excessive heat conditions.
