Court Rules "Refusal to Bargain by Courier Union is Unfair Labor Practice"... CJ Logistics Loses Again in Second Trial (Update)
CJ Logistics appealed the Central Labor Relations Commission's (CLRC) ruling that its refusal to engage in collective bargaining with delivery workers constituted an 'unfair labor practice,' but lost again in the second trial.
The Administrative Division 6-3 of the Seoul High Court (Presiding Judges Hong Seong-wook, Hwang Ui-dong, and Wi Gwang-ha) dismissed all appeals on the 24th in the lawsuit filed by CJ Logistics seeking to cancel the CLRC's retrial decision on unfair labor practices, upholding the original ruling against CJ Logistics.
The National Delivery Workers' Union (Delivery Union), composed of delivery workers classified as special employment workers, demanded collective bargaining in March 2020, but CJ Logistics refused. While the local labor commission initially ruled in favor of CJ Logistics on the union's relief application, the CLRC overturned this in the retrial, ruling that it was indeed an unfair labor practice.
