[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Four major domestic courier companies, CJ Logistics, Logen, Lotte Global Logistics, and Hanjin, have decided to operate a courier rest day this year as well, following last year.

According to the Korea Integrated Logistics Association, the courier industry has designated the 14th of next month as a courier rest day, allowing a three-day break including the substitute holiday until the 16th. Last year, the industry and the Ministry of Employment and Labor first established August 14th as a courier rest day to guarantee rest for courier workers. At that time, it was agreed to make this day a regular occurrence.

The association asked for understanding from the public and consignors regarding any inconvenience that may arise due to delayed deliveries caused by the holiday.
