[앵커]

Before the Lunar New Year holidays, national courier unions demanding measures to prevent deaths from overwork have voted for and against the strike.

The courier service provider and the government are monitoring the situation as they have taken steps to reduce the excessive workload of courier drivers.

Reporter Cho Yong-seong reports.

The courier union, which called for measures to prevent overwork, is voting for and against the general strike.

If we lean in favor, we will launch a general strike on the 27th.

There is a possibility that the courier union will also vote for or against the strike and broadcast it as a companion strike.

[윤중현 / 택배노조 우체국본부장 : 외길수순으로 몰아간다면 저희는 두려움 없이 싸울 것입니다. 반드시 전 조합원의 총파업 투표를 통해서 전국 동시다발 총파업으로 우리의 요구를 똑똑히 주장할 것입니다.]

The labor and management of the courier company are having a conflict over the question of labor for sorting and the resulting cost burden.

Courier companies are gradually increasing the number of sorting jobs instead of courier technicians to avoid overwork, which was introduced late last year.

In addition, it is a position that consultations will continue in the future on the principle of not paying the cost of the support staff to the courier service.

[택배업체 관계자 : 설 연휴 동안 국민 생활에 불편함이 없도록 안정적인 배송서비스도 제공하고 종사자들이 건강하게 일할 수 있는 작업환경을 제공하기 위해서 정부와 협의해서 대책을 잘 추진해 나가도록 하겠습니다.]

The government decided to implement measures to protect courier workers, seeing that the number of courier shipments will increase this New Year, with fewer visits to the city of origin.

In addition, a campaign is launched to support 6,000 people in the parcel category, which is considered the main factor of overwork, and to have space for delivery.

[이낙연 / 더불어민주당 대표(설 민생안정대책 당정협의회) : 택배 노동자들의 고통이 이만저만이 아닙니다. 지난번에 우리가 ‘설 선물을 빨리 보냅시다’ 또는 ‘늦게 와도 괜찮다고 합시다’는 캠페인을 시작했는데, 그런 운동 또한 확산되길 바랍니다.]

The number of courier and postal worker unions who voted for and against the strike this time is about 5,500, which is 10% of all courier drivers.

Even if they do go on strike, a logistical disruption is unlikely, but there may be some hiccups as they go.
