[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] CJ Logistics Retirees Association, a group of former employees of CJ Logistics, has demanded strict government punishment against the strike and illegal occupation of the headquarters by the CJ Logistics branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Delivery Workers' Union (Delivery Workers' Union), stating that violence and illegality must not be rampant in a country governed by the rule of law.

In a statement on the 17th, the CJ Logistics Retirees Association said, "The mob called the Delivery Workers' Union illegally occupied the headquarters, and dozens of our juniors were injured," expressing their position.

The association emphasized, "The mob called the Delivery Workers' Union must immediately stop the illegal occupation and withdraw," and requested the government to immediately arrest and severely punish the mobs who ambushed ordinary citizens, caused injuries, and illegally occupied the company." They added, "Such ruthless violence and illegality must never be rampant in a country governed by the rule of law."
