My only concern is the part regarding AC. I fear they're just going to buy multiple years worth of vehicles prior to when the change goes into effect, and hold off on buying new as long as they can.
The supply chain will not allow that to happen. The facilities that build UPS trucks already have production schedules that are full into 2024.
It's going to be a big effort just to meet the January 1st deadline that the contract currently sets out.
As far as I can tell, it's vehicles purchased after 1/1/24. They can purchase them for however long in advance as they'd like.
That's not how anything works. If the teamsters agreed to a contract that can be twisted out of that easily then they deserve it.
You don't think it's common for things like bulk vehicle purchases to be decided years in advance?
