A postal worker of the USPS has demonstrated just how easy it is to cook a raw steak inside an overheated postal truck during hot days.

With no air conditioning in their trucks, USPS drivers are forced to endure unbearable conditions while delivering mail during summer.

“It has come to my attention that quite a few USPS employees over the past few weeks in the Phoenix area have been sent to the emergency room to deal with heat stroke and heat exhaustion,” Rep. Shawnna Bolick expressed in a letter to the Postal Service, speaking of the unbearable conditions USPS workers are forced to work in.

As the Arizona lawmaker added, one of the workers went as far as cooking a raw steak inside his overheated truck to prove his point.

As Bolick argued, the USPS employee in question left a raw steak inside his truck only to find out that the temperature of the core of the meat reached 128°F (53°C) in just an hour.

While the US Postal Service has been under a lot of pressure to ensure better working conditions in the recent months, it looks like not much is being done to protect the workers from adverse effects of the summer heat.

Just earlier this year, the company was issued a $150,000 penalty after a 63-year-old worker passed away from overheating.

“They’ve had them die delivering mail in heat, and there is still no AC in their vehicles,” one person wrote after the pictures of the cooked steak went viral.

“USPS likes their postal workers medium-rare,” another one joked.
