On the 8th, 'Mobile Workers' Rest Area' Opens at Yatap Station Plaza in Seongnam

Temporary Shelter for Mobile Workers

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will open the "Seongnam City Mobile Workers' Rest Shelter," a rest space for platform workers and special employment-type workers such as designated drivers, quick service couriers, delivery workers, and private tutors, on the 8th at Yatap Station Plaza.

This rest shelter is established near Exit 3 of Yatap Station Plaza, covering an area of 18㎡, considering the frequent mobility characteristics of mobile workers for convenient access.

Seongnam City has equipped the shelter with air conditioning and heating, hot and cold water dispensers, smartphone chargers, and Wi-Fi for the convenience and rest of mobile workers.

Unlike the existing hub-type shelter near Moran Station, the Yatap Station rest shelter offers better accessibility for short breaks, which is expected to help resolve the difficulties faced by mobile workers who lack rest spaces during extreme cold or heat and contribute to improving their harsh working conditions.

The rest shelter is open 24 hours a day, year-round. For user safety, it operates with an unmanned security system. Users can authenticate themselves using credit card or mobile payment functions before use. After a pilot operation from January 2 to 5, it will officially open on the 8th.

A Seongnam City official stated, "This rest shelter installation, promoted as part of the comprehensive and detailed customized welfare policies of the 8th administration, is expected to enhance the rest rights of mobile workers and improve the harsh working environment of mobile laborers."
