This year’s Chuseok delivery volume reached the highest level since 2016 due to Corona 19.
As a result of an analysis of the “ delivery volume of live logistics packages ” presented by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation on the 23rd by the Democratic Party member Kang Joon-Hyun (Sejong City-eul) of the National Commission of Land Transport of the National Assembly, the volume of shipments in September this year was 29,000, 26.3% more than in the Chuseok period last year. It was counted.
It is analyzed that this year’s Chuseok has significantly increased the volume of parcel delivery, as the quarantine authorities, concerned about the expansion of the Corona 19 region, asked that they refrain from moving.
Regarding the volume of Taebae during the holidays during the last five years, 317,075,000 in 2016, 393,3023,000 in 2017, 382.75 million in 2018, 474.36 million in 2019 and 53,799 in 2020. It has increased significantly the year last and this year at 10,000.
On September 10, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced the ‘courier worker protection measures’ through a meeting with the parcel industry. It’s content that more than 4,000 people will join for Hub and Sub rankings during Chuseok’s peak season (Sept. 21-Oct. 5).
However, the ‘courier worker overwork countermeasures committee’ argues that although CJ Logistics has said 700 sorters are being used, it is actually “only 400 people”.
In the ‘Daily Report on Chuseok Delivery Volume and Worker Management Response Status’ presented by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, only the total number of personnel contributed by 7 companies is specified. Therefore, 7 companies, including CJ Logistics and Lotte, added how many additional people to each terminal. They are not even able to find out if they were able to protect the courier workers by putting in the right manpower.
On the 20th, an estimated 13 courier workers were overworked this year alone because 39-year-old K, a courier worker with CJ Logistics, changed her fate.
Representative Kang Joon-hyun said, “As non-face-to-face transactions are increasing rapidly due to the impact of Corona 19, safety accidents such as overworked courier workers continue.” Indicated.
