Regarding the recent overwork of courier workers, President Moon Jae-in pointed out that this is a new inequality in the labor market caused by the crisis in the crown. At the same time, we are ordering special measures to be rushed to address this ‘crown inequality’ that puts special workers in blind spots. Reporter Hong Seon-ki reports. Recently, following CJ Logistics and Coupang, a Hanjin Courier delivery engineer lost his life one after another. Bereaved families say courier drivers are being pushed into an overworked crisis due to the explosive increase in delivery volume due to Corona 19. President Moon Jae-in pointed out that the overwork of couriers is a new structure of inequality caused by the coronavirus. And he said that this crown of inequality is threatening people’s lives. President Moon ordered the special measures to be rushed, saying nothing more regrettable should happen because of the crown’s inequality. First, he was instructed to tighten job status controls and job supervision so that specially employed workers are not driven into blind spots. He also emphasized the support measures for non-regular workers that are unavoidable for face-to-face activities even with the coronavirus, such as caregivers and childminders. We are also committed to political efforts to ensure that the income gap does not lead to a gap in care or education. Additionally, the disadvantaged and those in need of special attention were also targeted as requiring swift countermeasures. In particular, President Moon demanded that government officials from related ministries actively enter the field to protect people’s lives, saying that in difficult times, they must reach out to the people and find answers in the field.
