> In a historic agreement, UPS agreed to many of the demands from its unionized members. The company agreed to higher wages for full- and part-time union members and, crucially air conditioning in vehicles.
Great now all your packages will be delivered late because they have to open and close their truck doors each time they make a delivery.
THANKS OBAMA

@feld I worked at a place once where they paid extra to Ford to have their fleet vehicles delivered without radios because they didn't want employees listening to the radio on the clock.

@Moon @feld Nowadays it would be "Put the radio in, but keep the mic constantly hot so we can hear anything they're saying and let us override the radio to yell at them through the speakers whenever we want"

That's terrible I'd hate to be a delivery driver in an solar oven on wheels

@feld They had a driver die in a vehicle, so that was a pretty major sticking point. USPS did too, but the letter carrier union leader is a lush that's currently calling in hung over to union negotiations. Needless to say, the mailmen aren't terribly happy with him at the moment.
