CJ Logistics apologized for the overworked courier workers and proposed a countermeasure to inject 4,000 people to classify the job, but it was argued that half of the necessary costs were passed on to the agency and courier workers.
On the morning of the 5th, the overworked Countermeasures Committee of courier workers held a press conference at the Solidarity Participation in Jongno-gu, Seoul. It is understood that it is being transmitted. “
As a result of the death of a courier worker who had previously suffered heavy work, Park Geun-hee, CEO of CJ Logistics, announced a countermeasure to prevent a recurrence, saying: “We will reduce drivers’ working hours. incorporating 4,000 classification employees “. CJ Logistics predicted that it would incur an additional cost of around 50 billion won each year and explained that it would discuss specific details such as hiring additional staff with the delivery store.
However, according to the Countermeasures Committee, CJ Logistics notified last week, “We will only support 50% of the cost of entry for classified personnel, so please proceed with inquiries within the agency for the remaining 50%,” while conducting discussions. with heads of agencies by region. Consequently, the Committee is concerned that agencies with poor financial conditions may transfer 50% of the notification from the central office to the courier workers.
In fact, according to the report received through the Reporting Center for Forced Classification and Quantity Restrictions operated by the Task Force, the Gyeonggi-do A agency established a policy according to which 50% of the cost of classifiers is covered by the central office, 30% from the agency and 20% from the parcel worker. Even agency B said it would pass the remaining 50% to the courier, excluding the 50% supported by the central office.
It is said that the more the agency has fewer or no couriers to join the union, the more dire the situation to pass the cost. Furthermore, the countermeasures committee reported that there are no plans to place classification personnel in some military-level agencies such as Jeonnam and Gyeongnam.
The countermeasures committee said, “CJ Logistics is also handing over the recruitment and operation of the sorting manpower to the agencies, and will only pay 100,000 won per person to the courier, so it is notified in such a way that the rest are in charge”. He said he would put in the sorting workforce, but no changes even after 5 days. “

Co-Executive Director Park Seok-woon of the Countermeasures Committee said: “It is very sad that CJ Logistics is doing a trick that knows heaven and earth.” He said, “We will invest an annual budget of 50 billion won and add 4,000 people. Didn’t that mean I was going to pay for it?
He criticized that “creating this structure that returns costs to agencies and drivers is misleading the media and the public.”
The Countermeasures Committee insisted that CJ Logistics should immediately stop transferring the cost of labor for sorting to agencies and courier workers.
The Working Group said: “It should be officially announced that management will immediately pay the full cost of the classification work” and “In addition, we urgently participate in the social discussion body for the prevention of overwork required by the government and the Group of I work to discuss the details of the classification work with him. You have to sit face to face and discuss. “
On the other hand, CJ Logistics said: “We are negotiating the cost of sorting support staff in various proportions depending on the size and profit of the distribution store, assuming half of the distribution store.” He added: “I will not pay the delivery driver at the delivery shop.”
