I hope you’re right. Not sure I trust their leader. She’s got that “I’m going to be a corporate hero and bust the Union” look.
Can't be ruled out. She worked for Home Depot which was once an active member of ALEC, a huge corporate lobbying "bill mill" that has spent lots of time, effort, and money pushing legislation weakening worker protections and ability to collectively bargain in nearly every state house from coast to coast.

With UPS still being one of the that group's biggest backers, it's very possible the company doesn't want to appear as if it's capitulating to the very type of negotiating other ALEC players are largely working to eliminate from ever being used in the first place.

It happens only once every 5 years.

There will be more meetings, will they be fruitful? ldk
It's gonna be a test. If the company detects even the slightest hint that part timers and low seniority cheaper drivers that make up a sizable portion of the rank and file will waiver on just one lone metric, it's going to make an attempt to divide and conquer unity among hourlies.

In two days, the board could float or threaten to back out on the promise of 22.4's being promoted out of purgatory with no immediate $5 per hour bump up in pay in hopes of creating panic and unrest on our side. If they already have trouble achieving adequate staffing to move volume and they feel comfortable risking losing a portion of both, then they could very well dig in especially if they think they have a shot at weakening O'Brien's standing among the members going forward.

Work as instructed and make money
I always do and will continue to, but following ORION on my run will lead to service failures, finish times easily an hour over 9.5, and likely missed deliveries which is a recipe for asking customers to look at competitors (although admittedly, the competition in my area stinks far worse and the customers already know that).
