'Delivery Controversy' Apartment, Two Delivery Workers Reported for 'Trespassing' After Posting Appeal Letter

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The management of Apartment A in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, which sparked controversy by blocking delivery vehicles from accessing the ground-level roads within the complex, has reported two delivery workers who posted printed notices, prompting a police investigation.

The Gangdong Police Station in Seoul announced on the 28th that they are investigating the two delivery workers on charges including trespassing. It is reported that the apartment management filed the police report after the delivery union posted an appeal letter related to delivery conflicts on the 13th. The police plan to summon both the complainant and the two delivery workers for questioning.

A police official stated, "We will review charges such as trespassing and violations of the Minor Offenses Act and proceed according to procedures."

In response, the National Delivery Workers' Union of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Service Federation will hold a press conference around 1 p.m. at the Gangdong Police Station to condemn some residents and the police.

Apartment A, with approximately 5,000 households, has blocked delivery vehicles from using the ground-level roads within the complex since the 1st of this month. Delivery workers were instructed to deliver to each household using handcarts or to use low-floor vehicles that can access the underground parking lot with a height restriction of 2.3 meters. Delivery workers have opposed this, citing increased delivery times and physical strain from having to work in a bent posture. Although individual deliveries were suspended on the 14th, they were temporarily resumed on the 16th after an increase in delivery workers reporting mental distress due to protest messages from some residents.
