Press conference on the 17th, including the courier union
Plan to decline classification job from 21
There is also room for ‘retreat’ in the delivery of labor in the delivery industry.
On the afternoon of the 17th, when the courier worker’s overwork countermeasures committee announced its intention to refuse to sort the package on the 21st, officials were sorting the products at a package distribution center in downtown Seoul Yunhap news
The couriers complained about the heavy workload and announced that they would completely refuse to “sort” from the 21st. This is because the delivery volume is running out before the Chuseok holiday, but the hand of work for “sorting work” has not been performed properly and heavy work continues. The government and the parcel industry revealed that an average of 10,000 additional people per day for sorting work and vehicle delivery support were delayed, and there is a potential for negotiations to take place before a “disruption occurs.” of logistics “. The ‘Overworked Courier Delivery Workers Countermeasures Committee’ held a press conference at the office of the Democratic Confederation of Trade Unions in Jeong-dong, Seoul, on the 17th, and announced that “some 4,000 drivers from Nationwide couriers plan to reject the sorting job on the 21st. ” The countermeasures committee said: “Sorting work is a key reason for the long working hours that courier workers have to go to work early in the morning and deliver late into the night. Although half of their 13 -16 hours a day are dedicated to sorting work, they don’t get a penny. ” He argued that “incorporating (separately) labor to classify work is the most realistic and effective measure to reduce overwork for courier workers.” Earlier, from 14-16, the Task Force voted to reject the qualification process for delivery drivers. 4,358 people, including members of the National Courier Coalition Union, participated in this vote and 4,160 people (95.5%) agreed. In addition to the members, about 500 people participated in the vote.

The “sort work” the courier union said it would reject is simply “product procurement work.” Packages are collected at the central terminal and then transferred to the sub-terminals by region through main classifications, where they are once again classified by delivery area and delivered to each household. Typically, the sorting process refers to the process in which package delivery drivers divide the quantity at the sub-terminal and load it onto the car. The courier industry argues that sorting is the exclusive job of courier operators, while courier workers are charged a fee according to the number of courier deliveries, so sorting is practically like “hand of free work “. For this reason, conflicts have been repeated every time the Christmas season, when the delivery volume is more crowded than usual. On that day, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Employment and Labor proposed measures to support the classification workforce. During Chuseok’s peak season (September 14 to October 16), the number of sub-terminal sorting personnel will increase by 2,067 (26.3%) per day compared to August this year, and the number of Central terminal classification staff will also increase by 1604 (13.1%). In addition, 2,555 vehicles (20.4%) and 5,200 people (8.9%) will be added to the delivery vehicle (cars that transfer the amount from the terminal hub to the sub-terminal). From the 21 of this month to the 5 of next month, the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, the Ministry of Labor, the courier service and the Integrated Logistics Association will establish an emergency contact system to verify the status of additional vehicles and personnel every day, and respond to various situations. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport explained that the decision was made through a meeting with the parcel industry the day before. CJ Logistics, Hanjin Express, Lotte Global Logistics, Rosen Express, Fresh Solution (a subsidiary of Market Curly) and Coupang attended the meeting. Until now, the industry has been hiring staff to load and unload the central terminal before the holidays, but rarely hired for sorting. After reviewing the government’s announcement, the Task Force is in a position to decide whether to withdraw the rejection policy. Kim Se-gyu, director of education and propaganda for the National Courier Coalition Union, said: “There is no reason to deny whether it is correct to place the sorting workforce in the sub-terminal, but we are getting the exact facts.” “After understanding the facts, we must decide whether to withdraw the classification work.
