      I knew our local UPS driver had a stoke because of the heat. The fact that it has been 3 years and they bought zero truck with air, nor done jack shit for workers. YET the union doesn’t strick? Why no way they should work in these conditions.

        Valid point, but I felt like I was having a stroke halfway through reading this comment.

    Compared to my USPS driver, who is driving a new Mercedes van with good A/C and altered routes over the summer months to shorten drivers’ time in heat.

    Before anyone flips at “Mercedes”, their work vans are very cost competitive with Chevys.

    It’s almost as if being in a union might be a good thing.
