Some UPS drivers quietly struggle on the job

Don’t personally know him, but I’ve seen that guy around.

And die ... Air-conditioning saves many older people's lives.

As a massive heat wave bears down on Europe in coming days, France is hoping to avoid the devastating death toll it suffered in 2003, during the hottest spell in centuries. That July and August, an estimated 70,000 people across Europe died of heat-related causes. About 15,000 of those deaths occurred in France — and in Paris, morgues overflowed with bodies.

So there was Global warming back in 2003 also? Who would have guessed.

Isn't it kind of ironic the new uniforms which seem designed better for heat come out the same day as a story revolving around UPS and the heat struggles we have? Huh.

They will probably focus on part timers that work inside. I doubt they will interview many (if any) drivers.

I bet they will interview feeder drivers wearing long sleeve shirts and jackets.

Pure coincidence.

Hopefully they talk about the long sleeves and pants requirement for tattoos

If you are stupid enough to get full sleeves and full leg tatoos when you know its against the rules you should also be made to wear a dunce hat.

My family history goes back far, never once did I hear of old folks dying from summer. How did people down south survive?

To attempt to mock or humiliate?

Do you feel intimidated? I hope we can handle this matter discreetly.

You gotta take care of yourself. Screw those packages. I'm not dropping dead for a stinking package.

Its a waste of money to air condition the Customer Counter too. Nobody there works hard enough to break a sweat.
