"To All Mobile Workers, Take a Short Break!" ... Gumi City Opens Mobile Workers' Rest Shelter

Improving Poor Working Conditions

Gumi City in Gyeongbuk has opened two rest areas for mobile workers at the covered stream in Songjeong-dong and the public parking lot by Geumo Stream in Wonpyeong-dong to improve the poor working conditions and guarantee rest rights.

The mobile worker rest areas were established as part of a public project selected for the "2023 Platform Worker Workplace Improvement Support Project" led by the Ministry of Employment and Labor this year. The city created the facilities with a total floor area of 30㎡ (10 pyeong), partially funded by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

The target users are mobile workers whose workplaces are not fixed and whose main tasks involve traveling, such as designated drivers, quick service couriers, delivery workers, private tutors, and on-site AS technicians.

The rest areas are equipped with various convenience facilities (air conditioning and heating, massage chairs, water purifiers, phone chargers, etc.) so that mobile workers can rest comfortably at any time. An AI unmanned management system is applied, and the facilities operate unmanned from 10 a.m. to 6 a.m. the next day.

Yu Taeran, Director of the Labor Welfare Division, said, “We hope this space becomes a comfortable resting place for mobile workers, and we will continue to diversify support projects for vulnerable workers to create better working environments.”
