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.
