UPS workers have ratified a new union contract that secures Wage Increases and extreme heat protections for over 340,000 employees across the US. The deal eliminates a two-tier wage system, ends mandatory overtime on drivers' days off, and ensures that vehicles purchased after January 2024 will be equipped with air conditioning. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union representing UPS workers, called the contract the most lucrative agreement they have ever negotiated with UPS. The deal comes as workers across various industries have been fighting for better conditions and protections in the face of extreme heat.
