[QUOTE="RetiredIE, post: 5617721, member: 38557"] Wow. A rant is a rant, but, I think A/C in package cars is a dumb idea. It is not cost effective and won't cool anyone down very much. If I was on the Union negotiating team I would ask UPS just how much, all in (fuel, hardware, etc.) this will cost. What else can you get for that chunk of change that would add real, long term value to the union members? 1) REAL guarantied hours on request. 2) Better long term care in retirement (You folks are not getting any younger.) 3) Maybe A/C in more effective and impactful work areas (trailers being unloaded, etc.) Look, I am a retired management guy, but I think the Union leadership should take their blinders off and look at the big picture. This will be a LOT of money and I honestly think there are much better ways to spend that money for the betterment of your membership. Also, don't think for a second that UPS won't hold this over your heads for years to come. I think this is a huge missed opportunity, but then again, I just got off the golf course, so I will shut up now... [/QUOTE]
