[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] The CJ Logistics Parcel Agency Union announced on the 16th that if the CJ Logistics branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions' National Parcel Workers' Union (Parcel Union), currently on strike, does not promptly return to work on site, it will hold them legally responsible for breach of contract.

In a statement released that day, the Parcel Agency Union emphasized, "If the return to work is not achieved, the union will file individual criminal complaints and claim civil damages," adding, "We have no choice but to take extraordinary measures, including holding them accountable for breach of contract within the scope permitted by law."

In particular, the Parcel Agency Union warned that it will take contractual measures without leniency against union members participating in the strike without the right to dispute. The union stated, "We will take contractual measures without leniency against those illegally participating in the strike without the right to dispute."

Regarding measures for areas where parcel delivery is being disrupted, the union announced plans to strengthen services by adjusting delivery zones and directly requesting deliveries from CJ Logistics, the primary contractor.

The CJ Logistics branch of the Parcel Union has been on strike since December 28 last year, claiming that the company is pocketing most of the parcel fee increases agreed upon socially to prevent overwork deaths. On the 10th, they occupied the CJ Logistics headquarters and have been protesting there for a week.
