CJ Daehan Tongun Agency Union "Will Not Make Delivery Workers Bear Sorting Costs"

Calls for Realistic Parcel Delivery Fees and Enactment of the Living Logistics Act

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] On the 10th, the CJ Logistics Courier Agency Union announced that it will not burden courier workers with the costs related to sorting personnel, which have been cited as the main cause of the worsening labor intensity in courier work.

The CJ Logistics Courier Agency Union issued a statement saying, "Courier agencies will take the lead in resolving the issue of long working hours based on company support and cost-sharing, and will not impose costs on courier workers."

They added, "Support for sorting personnel is essential to reduce courier workers' working hours. In some agencies, considering payment capacity and management environment, the cost-sharing ratio will be determined through consultation with the company, and personnel will be deployed as soon as possible."

They continued, "Exclusion from industrial accident insurance should not be applied for without justifiable reasons, and through the employment registration process, we will actively encourage all courier workers to enroll in industrial accident insurance to ensure institutional protection."

Furthermore, they urged the government, saying, "For the health and safety of courier workers, a maximum daily workload should be set and recommended," and requested, "Please support the institutionalization of minimum fare systems and standard fare systems to realize fair courier fees."

They also appealed to the National Assembly, saying, "Please expedite the enactment of the Living Logistics Service Act to clearly define the scope, responsibilities, and roles of courier workers, resolve disputes and conflicts occurring on site, and enable all workers to take the lead in enhancing public convenience."
