[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] CJ Logistics announced on the 22nd that the Korea Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) National Courier Workers' Union (Courier Union) is blocking the exit of vehicles at the Gonjiam Mega Hub Terminal located in Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do.

According to CJ Logistics, about 120 members of the Courier Union attempted to enter the Gonjiam Mega Hub at 7 a.m. that day. However, due to security personnel and police presence, the situation is currently at a standstill. The Courier Union is blocking the entrance and obstructing the exit of trunk vehicles.

A CJ Logistics official stated, "Currently, about 100 trunk vehicles are being prevented from exiting," adding, "The union claims that if they are allowed into the terminal, they will allow the trunk vehicles to exit."

The trunk vehicles are loaded with hundreds of thousands of courier parcels to be sent to regional terminals for delivery. If the vehicles cannot exit, deliveries cannot proceed.

CJ Logistics pointed out that the Courier Union is showing a double standard. Although they lifted the occupation of the headquarters' third floor the previous day and spoke of dialogue, they immediately attempted to occupy the core facility, the Gonjiam Hub, the next day.

A CJ Logistics official emphasized, "The double standard of attempting to occupy the core facility, the Gonjiam Hub, and blocking the exit of trunk vehicles is evident," adding, "Gonjiam is a key facility that affects the entire nation if blocked, and occupation and obstruction of exits here pose a threat to the public."
