Negotiators for UPS and the Teamsters union have reached a tentative agreement on a crucial issue in their contract talks: The shipping giant has finally agreed to install air conditioning – gradually – in its entire fleet of 95,000 delivery vans

. The union hailed the long-sought agreement as a “major tentative deal.” It said the company agreed to equip all larger delivery vehicles, smaller sprinter vans, and all of UPS’ most recognizable brown package vans purchased after Jan. 1, 2024 with in-cab air conditioning systems. There is apparently less immediate relief for drivers of vehicles already in operation. The current fleet will all get two fans per van after the contract is ratified.

7 million US packages a day in the first quarter of this year. Additional progress While the deal on the AC doesn’t necessarily end the threat of a strike, it is sign that the two sides are making progress towards an overall agreement. The agreement does not require retrofitting the existing vans with air conditioning. But UPS said the installment of AC is not the only measure it is taking to deal with the safety of delivery drivers during times of high heat.
