Seems like a big sticking point is pay for the part time workers at UPS facilities that load the trucks.
- That and air conditioning
  
  Wild that AC can't be guaranteed. I get that it's a finicky part of a car, but it should be solvable
  
  I believe that issue is solved in the current tentative agreement. Or rather, all new UPS vehicles from now on will have AC, but current vehicles won't.
- Honestly that's great they are fighting for part timers.
