Who will win in the end? The unions or the global warming cultists?
UPS's Green Initiative Conflicts with Union Contract for Air-Conditioned Delivery Vehicles
UPS’s Green Initiative Conflicts with Union Contract for Air-Conditioned Delivery Vehicles
7-4-25
By Cole Harrison
Companies love to brag about being green. Whether it’s fancy ads about saving the planet or big announcements about electric trucks, big businesses can’t stop talking about helping the environment. But who really pays the price for all this green bragging? While bosses get praise for their climate promises, regular workers often bear the real burden.
Sometimes that burden gets really uncomfortable – like sweating through your uniform in 100-degree heat with no air conditioning. That’s exactly what’s happening right now. One of America’s biggest delivery companies is making employees feel the heat while the company focuses on climate goals.
UPS drivers across America are angry after finding out that the company’s push for electric trucks may be coming at the cost of promised air conditioning. In 2023, the Teamsters union proudly announced they had won a “historic” contract with UPS that guaranteed cool air for drivers, especially those working in the hottest parts of the country.
