UPS workers approve 5-year contract, capping contentious negotiations that threatened deliveries
"Only one-third of UPS’s package cars and delivery vans could potentially be installed with air conditioning over the next five years. And, the Teamsters have given UPS an out by agreeing if volume declines, the schedule can be delayed. Some living package car drivers may never see air conditioning. Given the on-going catastrophe of climate change-driven long heat waves, this is a recipe for disaster." https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/07/28/what-happened-to-the-big-ups-strike/

If you stand in solidarity with UPS workers and they do strike in a few days, please for the love of god cancel your meal prep subscriptions. They do not need to walk back into work whenever the strike is over to thousands of packages of spoiled food.
Also don't scab and use other delivery services. We all must endure the pain (where possible) and complain (however possible) to UPS leadership about their monstrous greed! We all stand to gain.
