    Has anyone gotten AC yet?

    I would have to assume if there were any new trucks with AC Berlin Rosen would have done a press release by now. Wouldn’t O’Brien have already done a photo op in front of a new truck with AC?
    Maybe there are some, let’s hear from members if they know of , personally know of not just “ heard” about .

    No and your not getting it. More layoffs are coming is the rumor.

      O'Briens's union owned vehicle has air conditioning that works wonderfully.

        Oh, and subcontracting was a strike issue. So much like Trump a historic LIAR!

          Cheaper to buy out a driver and cut rural zips than retrofit PCs for AC. Everybody knew that except the members in '23.

            We have always had 2/40 air conditioning! 2 doors and 40 MPH!

              Someone recently posted from California that they had just received AC package cars. Maybe Local 63? I'll do some digging

                That will be the first one reported! Now that will be historic!

              Just looked it up, UPS has over 100,000 delivery trucks in the US.
              we have ONE report of ONE truck with AC.
              Think about that when O’Brien makes his claims of all he has accomplished!

                Don’t you think during negotiations it might have been good to ask the status of UPS’s fleet of trucks? How many they had, how many they had already ordered?, how many were on the verge of being replaced?
                UPS either really outsmarted O’Brien or he was more interested in looking like he got a big win in the media.

                  The latter is true.

                  I believe both are true.

                  The former would be a typical request for this kind of proposal IF the union was genuinely interested in the very near future. The latter is certainly the case. The REAL question is: Why is the membership not fully aware of the reality of the language? O'Brien is a PR sellout!

                The thing that really gets me. Why was this contract ratified if this Schmuck Mr. Magoo cut a deal ?

                  Well maybe the millions of dollars spent on PR to convince members it was something it wasn't, had something to do with it.

                I saw one vehicle with AC in Local 63 I believe. You could check out their Instagram @L63UPS . Still though it's going on the 3rd year of this lame contract and just one truck .
