The first rest area, installed last year in the lower space of the Unjeong Yadang Station transfer parking lot, has shown a high usage rate with a total of 15,731 visits (an average of 1,966 visits per month) from May to December 2023, receiving great response from mobile workers.

Accordingly, Paju City decided to open an additional rest area to further strengthen the labor welfare of mobile workers and provide rest spaces to more workers.

The newly established simple rest area is a 28㎡ container building located near the Geumchon central shopping district (13 Hugok-ro, Paju City), equipped with convenience facilities such as heating and cooling systems, an automatic blood pressure monitor, TV, hot and cold water dispenser, and sofas to ensure comfortable use by mobile workers.

In addition, it operates 24 hours a day through an unmanned control system, allowing delivery workers, substitute drivers, courier workers, and other mobile workers who need a resting space to use it conveniently at any time.

Mayor Kim Kyung-il of Paju City said, “With a severe cold wave expected this winter, I hope the mobile workers’ rest area will become a warm refuge for mobile workers,” and added, “We will listen carefully to the voices of mobile workers on site and do our best to improve working conditions that they can truly feel.”
