They already agreed to include it in new vans. The issue they’re complaining about is that UPS hasn’t purchased new vehicles this year, so no progress is being made.
I didn’t realize they were going electric already, which would require that essentially anyway, so that was literally a “free” concession on the UPS side. That was going to happen simply by proxy anyway.
If that’s all true… then is this a case of UPS actively trying to avoid installing AC, or just a side effect of UPS purchasing new vehicles in bulk at set intervals as they age, that don’t happen to have happened in the last 8 months? Did UPS purchase a ton of new vehicles in the time between the Union agreement and January 1st? If so, were those purchases already in the works, or were they setup specifically to avoid this provision? Does UPS already have spare vehicles in their fleet when the current ones in use break down completely meaning they don’t need to purchase replacements currently?
I don’t think this is nearly as simple as the article and complaint is trying to make it sound, even with the fact the current trucks don’t have AC is bullshit to begin with.
if you have an airbnb problem, should bring it up at a local city council meeting to get shit done or an HoA if you live in an HoA neighborhood . its of the few things that actually do work and has shown to work in places.
Nah, I don’t really care about downvotes. I really, really hate Airbnb their hosts and their owners. I hate the entire business model. Like I said, they ruined our neighborhood. So the edit is for the Airbnb host/owner. Also, I’m upvoting you because I enjoy having conversations and reading other points of view. Have a great day!
“Allows landlords to manipulate…” What are we saying? They shuffle the responsibility of being an asshole onto the software? End of the day landlords were greedy bitch’s.
I mean, colluding with your competition to keep prices high is against the law. Yeah, they may still call their buddy across town and (illegally) coordinate what price to set the rent at, but the impact of that, vs a business that’s incentivized to keep all prices high to the benefit of them and landlords!? Not even close…
They shuffle the responsibility of being an asshole onto the software?
That’s quite literally it. It’s much easier to raise rents when the magic computer tells you to do it. Then no human in your organization actually has to take responsibility for the decision.
So I bought one of Spotify’s Car Things when they were flushing them after realizing nobody knew fuck all about them.
The device itself works alright for it’s purpose, but is basically just a fancy way to change tracks or answer your phone. There’s no GPS or messaging integration that you’d get with CarPlay. It doesn’t even tell the time. Still, it works and is useful.
A few months ago, Spotify sent out emails that, as of December, they will be bricking all of them and to dispose of them via whatever recycling service you have.
Pretty shitty that we’ve entered an era where companies can just destroy something you paid for because they want to… There need to be laws against this.
