OSHA must institute an emergency heat standard to protect workers until a permanent regulation can be finalized.

Yet, UPS still refuses to install ACs in their delivery trucks despite raking in $12,900,000,000 in profits last year.
No one should die from working.

Don’t tell us that UPS can’t install AC in their delivery trucks when their CEO made $27,600,000 in total compensation last year.
Quote Tweet
UPS would rather have its workers collapse from heat stroke than install ACs in their vehicles like other delivery services. They even lie that it’s literally impossible to install one.
