[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The People Power Party held a policy meeting on the 17th to promote the win-win development of the logistics industry. This meeting was organized to directly hear the difficulties on the ground and to study policy alternatives.

Joo Ho-young, the floor leader of the People Power Party, said at the meeting held at the National Assembly in the afternoon, "Due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the demand for freight and product delivery has increased tremendously," adding, "There remain unresolved issues regarding the workload burden of delivery workers and their work scope."

Floor leader Joo said, "This is a place to gather opinions on how to effectively implement the Act on the Development of Living Logistics Service Industry (Living Logistics Act)," and added, "If the industry honestly shares the current situation and provides good suggestions today, we will strive to reflect them."

Lee Jong-bae, chairman of the People Power Party Policy Committee, stated, "Although the parcel delivery industry is well developed in our country, the system has not adequately supported the increasing volume, causing many difficulties for workers," and added, "Since workers face many hardships and conflicts, the People Power Party took the initiative to hold this meeting to resolve these issues."
