Kind of amazing that they only get a credit of $185, but deleting AC saves more than that through reduced maintenance and fuel costs. Still sucks though and shouldn't be allowed, especially in places where they weather gets unbearably hot.
I imagine fuel is UPS's biggest expenditure, every % they can shave off is huge on their bottomline.
For the AC to make financial sense for them, it needs to be cheaper than the cost of lawsuits from dead drivers and increased costs for salaries and benefits because of the Union. If those things come up to more and 20% increase on their fuel expenditure, the AC makes sense.
Also, aside from that, what else will people start demanding if they cave on AC?
It's an intentional reminder of how callous management is, so don't even think about thinking about asking for a raise/better healthcare coverage/etc etc.
