☆ UPS workers vote to authorize strike while cheering unexpected progress on heat safety
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Adiel Kaplan | J.J. Mccorvey | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
UPS acknowledged the vote outcome and noted that Friday's strike authorization doesn't automatically trigger a work stoppage. While many union members at UPS cast their votes on the strike authorization before the heat safety deal was announced, some drivers said afterward that other big priorities remain. Heat safety experts praised the preliminary agreement on air conditioning but cautioned that addressing the threat of extreme temperatures would take time. Seth Harris, a law and policy professor at Northeastern University who served as President Joe Biden's top labor policy adviser, said progress on heat safety at UPS could have broader ripple effects. Already, though, the concessions have jolted UPS workers and their allies with a dose of optimism.

The death of 24-year-old Esteban Chavez Jr. has renewed calls from some employees for air conditioning on UPS trucks. New York UPS driver Ben Douglass told Insider that he and his local coworkers are concerned, and that union members are fighting for better safety all around. But according to Director of Media Relations Matthew O'Connor, UPS delivery trucks don't have air conditioning because the frequent stops would render it "ineffective." The company's warehouses also lack air conditioning because the buildings' large overhead dock doors are frequently open, which would make AC ineffective there, too, O'Connor said. One UPS driver who wished to remain anonymous for fear of repercussions expressed his desperation for air conditioning inside his truck.
