[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] CJ Logistics announced on the 21st that although they withdrew from the 3rd floor in response to the illegal occupation by the Korea Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) Nationwide Delivery Workers' Union (Delivery Workers' Union), the illegal occupation remains unchanged.

A CJ Logistics official explained, "There has been no change in the occupation of the main entrance lobby on the 1st floor," adding, "The overall illegal occupation status remains unchanged."

The official stated, "Given the size of the headquarters lobby and the building structure, unless the illegal occupiers fully vacate, it is impossible for employees who are anxious to enter and work normally," and added, "For the company to operate normally, it is essential to stop the illegal occupation of the 1st floor lobby, so we demand the Delivery Workers' Union to immediately and fully withdraw."

Meanwhile, Jin Kyung-ho, chairman of the Delivery Workers' Union, said at the 'National Delivery Workers Rally' held at Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul on the same day, "As of today, we will lift the sit-in protest at CJ Logistics' 3rd floor headquarters," and added, "The union has taken this exceptional measure magnanimously to give one last chance for dialogue."
