[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] For the first time in Ulsan, a rest area for ‘mobile workers’ engaged in substitute driving and delivery services has opened.
On the 28th at 4:20 PM, Ulsan City announced that Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom, City Council Chairman Kim Ki-hwan, Chairman Lee Joon-hee of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Ulsan Regional Headquarters, Park Joon-seok, head of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Ulsan Regional Headquarters, and about 30 others attended the opening ceremony of the Ulsan Mobile Workers Rest Area.
The Ulsan Mobile Workers Rest Area was established on the 3rd floor of a building in Daldong, Nam-gu, with a total area of 225㎡, considering the accessibility and surrounding conditions for mobile workers. It is equipped with a communal lounge, women’s lounge, and multipurpose room.
This is one of the public pledge projects of the 8th municipal administration, promoted to guarantee rest conditions and improve working environments for mobile workers whose workplaces are not fixed and whose main tasks are performed while on the move, such as substitute drivers, delivery drivers, quick service workers, and private tutors.
Mobile workers can use the facility daily from 1 PM until 6 AM the next day, and it is closed on weekends and public holidays.
Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom of Ulsan said, “I hope this will be a comfortable resting space for mobile workers who have no proper place to rest in the snow, rain, cold, and heat.”
