Jin Kyung-ho, chairman of the courier worker’s overworked countermeasures committee (the countermeasures committee), exclaimed with a long sigh and said, “I died again” on the 24th.
He said, “Isn’t it a planned accident?” He said. “If the overwork is repeated so far, you don’t know what’s different from killing. Lotte Courier’s comprehensive countermeasures announced in October are to prevent immediate rains.” It was just an advertisement. “
In early October, Lotte Courier announced a comprehensive plan to protect parcel workers. At that time, countermeasures included ▲ step-by-step entry of 1000 people for classification ▲ support for medical check-ups once a year ▲ support for loading and unloading personnel ▲ abolition of the package delivery driver penalty system.
However, on the morning of the 23rd, Park Amugae, a thirty-four-year-old from Lotte Courier, was found dead at his home in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do. According to the Action Committee, Park, who was 190 cm tall and 110 kg in weight, was overworked enough to lose 20 kg in six months of work.

Police plan to conduct an autopsy to find the correct cause of death.

Meanwhile, the “Life Logistics Services Industry Development Act (Living Logistics Act)”, the so-called “Courier Delivery Workers Prevention Act”, to prevent overwork deaths of workers of courier, was approved at the general meeting of the Land, Transportation and Transportation Committee of the National Assembly on the 24th.
The Life Logistics Law aims to prepare security measures, such as the expansion of the logistics infrastructure to avoid the overwork of parcel workers and to change the parcel services business to a registered system. In addition, it includes content that guarantees a 6-year renewal request for a shipping contract and recommends writing and using a standard contract. However, in the process of discussing interests, ‘sorting work’, which is the key to avoiding worker overwork, was omitted. He could not change what the courier had to pay for lost or damaged goods.
“Even if the bill (Housing and Logistics Law) is passed, it will only apply after July next year. I am concerned about how many workers will overwork,” said Jin Gyeong-ho, chairman of the countermeasures committee. “Chaebol Couriers, Including Lotte Courier Overworked, Apply Immediately to the Field”.
