On the 21st, the courier drivers who complained of an overwhelming workload and said they would refuse to sort packages from the 21st, withdrew their rejection plans.
The courier union positively assessed the government’s announced workforce expansion plan, saying it made that decision in consideration of public annoyance over the rejection of the sorting operation.

Did the courier drivers withdraw their plans to reject the classification?
[기자]Yes, the Countermeasures Committee of the Working Group of the Parcel Delivery Workers Division withdrew its rejection plan, saying that it positively evaluates measures such as the entry of personnel for classification, announced by the government on 18.
Sorting literally consists of subdividing the goods into areas handled by each courier driver prior to large-scale delivery.
When a vehicle with packages enters the terminal, you unload the items and bring them to your car to prepare for delivery.
Previously, courier drivers announced that they would refuse to sort starting on the 21st, saying that sorting tasks are heavy and some people are overworked.
Later, the Ministry of Lands, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Employment and Labor held a meeting with the parcel industry to discuss countermeasures against the rejection of the classification.
Yesterday (17), during Chuseok’s peak season, an average of 10,000 additional people per day were added to sorting duties and safety measures for drivers were announced.
The countermeasures committee said it was regrettable that the measures announced this time would avoid overworking courier workers, but took into account public inconvenience due to government efforts and refusal to classify.
At the same time, the government requested additional manpower to classify the work and verify the labor situation and request guidance on the spot.
In addition, the government, the parcel industry and the Countermeasures Committee suggested that we establish an organization to discuss the problem of overworked parcel workers.
He insisted that the labor situation must be controlled and fundamental solutions discussed for long working hours.
However, the Committee warned that if the promises of the government and the courier industry are not fulfilled, it could take measures again such as the refusal to classify.
The Countermeasures Committee plans to immediately request business cooperation with each company and courier agency according to the input of personnel for classification work.
Also, as additional labor was added, it was announced that the company would set the time to go to work at 9 o’clock, which is late.
