Please put up labor even for a month. “

As the largest volume of package delivery is expected to be dumped this month due to ‘quasi-three steps of social distancing’ and special delivery for the Chuseok holidays, courier workers added additional labor for the ‘work of classification ‘, which is the key cause of the long-term labor problem. And he asked the government and the messenger. On day 1, the courier workers’ countermeasures committee (the countermeasures committee) said on day 1: “If the government and couriers do not take action to solve the overwork and overwork of courier workers By the 16th, we will endure the disruption in package delivery for Chuseok and reject the sorting process entirely. ” . Sorting is a task in which couriers load the goods to be delivered on the same day in the order of their jurisdiction at the sub-terminal prior to delivery, which is the main task. Unlike the delivery service, which charges a fee, there is no additional cost. The criticism has been posed as “work”. The problem is that classification is the main cause of long working hours. They claim that in the first half of this year, due to the impact of Corona 19, the amount of merchandise increased by more than 20% compared to the same period last year, and the sorting operation occupied about half of the total. hours of work. Amugae Kim (47), who works as a messenger in the metropolitan area, said: “I work an average of 14 to 16 hours a day. If you put a dedicated manpower into the classification, the working hours will be much shorter. Last year, when package delivery volume increased by more than 10% per year on average, five courier workers died from overwork. For this reason, the Committee insisted that at least 50% of the quantity of merchandise should be exploited than usual, and that even during a month of September, labor should be put in to replace the sorting operation. The major domestic couriers will begin express delivery services from the 21st, before the Chuseok holiday. Kim Se-gyu, director of education and propaganda for the National Courier Association, the Federation of Trade Unions, said: “In the case of CJ Logistics, the number 1 in the industry, if you put one sorting worker for every 5 workers courier, 3,000 people are needed and they work four hours a day for a month. Doing so will cost 3 billion won in labor. “Meanwhile, CJ Logistics’ interim operating profit for the second quarter was KRW 83.9 billion in consolidated financial statements, 16.8% more than in the same period last year By Sun Dam-eun, Staff Reporter [email protected]
