[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] 'Ddingdong' is taking steps to protect the rights and improve the convenience of domestic delivery riders. Honeybiz, the operator of the delivery app Ddingdong, announced on the 19th that it will begin various support and policy research to protect rider rights in cooperation with the Korea Delivery Workers Cooperative.

Additionally, they plan to promote education and support projects to strengthen the online delivery infrastructure by region and the untact business capabilities of small business owners. The two organizations will jointly plan and operate safety and maintenance training for riders, accident and motorcycle purchase guidance through loss adjusters, and tax consultation programs.

Song Hyochan, Chief Operating Officer of Honeybiz, said, “Protecting the rights of riders who perform services on the front lines and establishing a cooperative structure is a social value that platform operators must not overlook,” adding, “This business agreement, based on O2O operational experience that 'without riders, there is no platform,' will be the first step toward synergy between platforms and platform workers.”
