CJ Logistics: "Strict Legal Action Must Be Taken Against Union Occupying Headquarters"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions' National Courier Workers' Union (Courier Union) has occupied the CJ Logistics headquarters building in Jung-gu, Seoul, prompting the company to request strict law enforcement from the government.

On the 13th, CJ Logistics issued a statement saying, "We once again request the government to strictly enforce the law against the illegal acts and violence occurring on site," and added, "We urge swift action to ensure that the principle of not ignoring or neglecting illegal activities is upheld."

At the same time, the company emphasized that the headquarters is exposed to the risk of COVID-19 due to the union members. CJ Logistics stated, "The illegal occupiers suspected of having COVID-19 symptoms are stubbornly refusing to leave," and claimed, "The COVID-19 quarantine system at the headquarters building has already collapsed, making it not surprising if a mass infection occurs at any time."

About 200 courier union members have been occupying and staging a sit-in at the headquarters for four consecutive days since the 10th, the 45th day of their strike.
