I read that article earlier today, it’s a new story so it’s tinged with a little bit of over the top as well as some truth so take it with a grain of salt.‘Sending drivers out to die’: UPS workers demand heat safety amid record temps

It is a pretty good article
I mean I'm all for helping cool drivers down, getting the company to provide more water, etc..
But sometimes I wonder to what degree are drivers taking care of themselves. If UPS gave every driver 3 gallons a day like @Integrity wants, what good will that do if the drivers don't drink it and smash Monsters or Red Bulls instead? Or even Mountain Dew.

Wouldn't it be easier to slow down just a tad? 3 GALLONS--my god--if you need 3 gallons a day just while working you probably have other things wrong with you and are dying anyway.

That is awesome.
IMO It is very important for the drivers to buy into best practices for staying safe while working in hot conditions. They need to make any changes necessary towards preventing heat related illnesses/injuries.
They need to follow UPS "Cool Solutions" training to the letter.
If local management or their coworkers try to insult, intimidate, coerce or harass them because of their desire to follow UPS "Cool Solutions" safety training, and/or OHSA requirements then they should be reported to the right people.
If management you should file a complaint with OSHA, if hourly you should file a complaint with your steward.
You should always write down exactly what is said and what will be done in response to your complaint.
If employees are having a problem following UPS "Cool Solutions" safety training, and/or OHSA requirements this is a serious problem and concern, it is the responsibility of UPS local management to find out why and help the employee correct this very dangerous practice.

Should the company use discipline to correct the behavior?

Could be, I would say the only reason it was canceled would be because OSHA decided not to come. I haven’t heard anything about a reschedule
Wouldn't put it past a company that makes deals (the establishment of Keter) to do that.
