UPS' contract is set to expire on July 31, 2023, and 350,000 of its 534,000 employees are expected to go on strike to demand better conditions
They are demanding air conditioning in the back of trucks, better pay packages, and benefits
UPS drivers already make around $95,000 yearly on average and receive an additional $50,000 in benefits
However, the median salary for the company is around $44,000, which is still significantly higher than its competitors, Amazon and FedEx
UPS handles 21.5million packages a day and - the only carrier with the capacity to do so - and controls about six percent of the nation's GDP
If the workers go on strike, it will be the first time the company has since 1997
