114° Friday, how hot was your delivery area?

[MAKAVELI]

I understand what you are saying but I will point this out. In my area, construction workers knock off at 3. The hottest part of the day. Never ever seen a firefighter work outside for 12 hours, and my brother is a firefighter. He always tells me how easy it is. Again, it may be different where you are from, but your comment is completely wrong over here. I wouldn’t call it inhumane, but it’s difficult. We also have the luxury of working and living in the US with a union, so why would I want to travel to other countries?

You obviously haven't talked to firefighters in Cali.

I bring up slavery because it's a comparison people here make all the time. Slavery is forced labor as a prisoner. We are making 6 figures for a job we can leave whenever we choose as well as gain the best healthcare in the country for free. My point being that comparing an at will job as slavery is actually insulting to those who have gone through it in the past. It cheapens it and makes it interchangeable and loses it's meaning.

We make good money because we are the hardest working laborer... The company shouldn’t be putting us through more torcher because of it.

Are we voting no because of global warming???

I'm voting NO until they bring back the green grit soap at my hub!!!

Got messages of drivers going to hospital for dehydration and not eating. Mgmt sending messages, if you run out water to break route and replenish. Like really?! I guess some of us need to be instructed....

A customer asked me the ol' classic question, "Do you have AC in your truck"?

Followed up by my answer, "Nah, UPS doesn't care about us"!

For those thinking of voting yes, just remember days such these. Rain, snow or hell on earth. You'll be out there in these conditions while they sit behind a desk.
1st ever post. Vote No, since some need to be instructed on things.

I saw 85 on the thermometer but the house is staying at about 75.

In the Contract it states very clearly the company can not discipline using technology for "personal time." Defend on that and slap a harassment grievance on top!

How about not being disciplined for reporting an injury.

Just unplug the appropriate sensors and leave the bulkhead door open.

Yeah, the hearing rooms all have AC.

Contact the state. Problem solved.

It's in our cba as well.
Who you gonna call at the "State'?

You dont have to unplug anything. It's a proximity switch and all it takes is a magnet attached to it to close the circuit.

L and I. The ruling body that UPS has to answer to.

But a cooler with ice cold beer will help.

Being on strike is kinda like high school, twenty years later you just remember the fun times. Not the part about worrying missing your house payment.

Fedex drivers have Ac... Why do People always settle for less! I just don’t under stand.

My FedEx boxtruck recently suffered a blown fan motor for the hvac.

fuse is good, compressor still ok, power to the wires good, just seized up after 3 years of constant use.

parts on order, Okay to go!

I'm, FedEx Ground, where AC is one of the bennies we get,y'all!

I had a delivery to Wal-Mart that Saturday, so after I walked in to the site-to-store counter, I went for the fan section to get a 9" desk fan... All metal construction, like your stepvan quality ones....

Power inverter in my truck , so I has a home plug!

Eat that, manager! I can now drive in comfort

Lol your investor be like

I guess so... once they get the replacement motor from the cheapest seller,

I'm moving that fan into the cargo section to circulate the air back thurr... having the bulkhead open and boxes strapped down is a plus

I guess you have Stockholm syndrome... You will believe what ever the hostage takers (UPS) will say!

I heard Fedex facilities use Charmin extra soft too. Better TP for all. strike strike strike!

I am not saying this doesn't happen so don't think that way, but....OMFG a WC attorney would rape the ever living out of the company if this could be proven!

I have often wondered why every FedEx truck I have ever seen had an open BH door. You all strap it open!!!!

Nice. Carnie delivery company.

[El Correcto]

why cant they put a fan in the back? something that forces air into the back? they really don't care about you at all.

That’ll take up too much room. Got to fit 5 couches and a trampoline back there.
