This year, in the midst of the 19 crown crisis, messengers died one after another due to overwork, and it emerged as a social problem.

The courier worker’s Overwork Death Countermeasures Committee held a condemnation contest and urged management to apologize.

Let’s connect the reporters. Reporter Kim Woo-jun!

It seems that the expropriation contest has just started. How is the atmosphere of the site?

The place where I am is in front of Exit 7 of Euljiro Station.

As you can see, the condemnation of the workers has just begun.

You can see posters calling for responsibility for the death of the late Kim Won-jong, who recently died, and banners apologizing from management.

Currently, a stage has been set up on one lane, and couriers can be seen gathered and shouting slogans for the company’s true apology.

On stage, courier drivers and deceased family members continue to speak out about their complaints.

The competition, which started recently, runs until 4:30 pm.

After the sentencing contest, a memorial parade continues in honor of the late Kim Won-jong and other courier workers who died from overwork this year.

To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the commemoration parade of just 99 people will start from Euljiro Station, cross the intersection in front of the Bank of Korea and continue to the headquarters of the courier company.

As mentioned above, five courier workers have died at the company in succession since last April, when the workload began to increase due to Corona 19.

Kim Won-jong, a courier driver, also collapsed and died in the delivery process on the 8th.

Mr. Kim’s father complained that Mr. Kim, who died, had a lot of work due to Corona 19, and that he suffered heavy work before and after the Chuseok vacation.

Mr. Kim works six times a week, an average of 15 hours a day, and has been known to move around 400 boxes a day.

That’s about 30% more than usual.

The workers gathered here are appealing that what Mr. Kim is suffering is the pain that the courier drivers are suffering on the front line, and that sooner or later there will be another death.

What they want is a sincere apology from management for the death of the knights.

In addition, management is urging management to solve the classification work, which is the main culprit for the prolonged labor, which is considered the cause of Kim’s death.

Since the 12th, the Working Group has declared a commemorative period for the dead workers for 15 days.

More than 2,000 courier drivers across the country are able to stop delivery on Saturday for two weeks, on the 23rd today and next Saturday, including the commemorative period.
