A courier in his 40s who worked at Rosen Courier made an extreme decision after suffering the agency’s troubles and difficulties.
According to the National Union of Courier Workers on the 20th, Kim was found dead at the terminal of the Gangseo branch of Rozen Courier in Busan around 3 am that day. The Gangseo branch manager found the body of the deceased this morning and reported it to the police.
Just before making an extreme decision, Kim drew up a will for 3 sheets of A4 paper and sent it to the union members he was working with.
“I’m sorry,” he said in his will, “we (the courier) will have to go to national exams, to buy a vehicle, to a registration to do this job.” “But the reality is, we didn’t earn 2 million won. He confessed that he was alive.
Mr. Kim said, “In my case, it’s an area where you can’t earn even 2 million won a month by subtracting taxes and other fees for a small fee,” he said. “This area should not be recruited, but recruited (agents) to downsize. I received the deposit and sold the correct money.”
He said, “I knew getting off work in the summer heat made people work too hard, but I didn’t buy it for 1.5 million won for a used portable air conditioner.” He said, “(Rather) I had 20 managers leave 30 minutes early.” .
Furthermore, it is known that although Mr. Kim expected to leave the company to get another job, the agency rather demanded compensation from Mr. Kim and put pressure on him. Consequently, Kim had to post a “job advertisement” on his vehicle until shortly before his death.
As a result, the Rosen Express branch in Busan Gangseo denied GapJil’s allegations, saying: “There is no fact that he has requested compensation for damages from Mr. Kim.” A branch official drew a line that read: “Kim was scheduled to terminate the contract in November, and the conditions for bringing in a successor upon leaving the company are specified in the contract.” .
Rosen Express headquarters did not formulate a clear position, saying “We are getting the facts.”
Eleven courier drivers lost their lives this year due to Kim’s death. The ‘death from overwork’ has emerged as a social issue due to the successive deaths of 10 delivery drivers, but this is the first time that an extreme choice has been made because of ‘financial problems’.
News of Mr. Kim’s death was also relayed to the state administration. Furthermore, Democratic Party representative Yang Lee Won-young said in an audit by the Ministry of Employment and Labor that day: “(The deceased) started working with excessive duty fees and made an extreme decision in the situation where he did not He was able to earn less than 2 million won a month due to vehicle fees. “It is said that the income was low, so the credit rating was low, and the principal and interest were paid about 1.2 million won a month.”
He then emphasized that “how to stop the procession of deaths of workers in this industry, we will have to work hard to prepare countermeasures not only during the period of control of the national government but also afterwards.”
