The courier union, which called for measures to prevent overwork, is voting for and against the general strike.
If we tilt in favor, we will start a general strike action on the 27th.
There is a possibility that the post office courier union will also vote for or against the strike and spread it as a companion strike.
[윤중현 / 택배노조 우체국본부장 : 외길수순으로 몰아간다면 저희는 두려움 없이 싸울 것입니다. 반드시 전 조합원의 총파업 투표를 통해서 전국 동시다발 총파업으로 우리의 요구를 똑똑히 주장할 것입니다.]
The labor and management of the courier company is having a conflict over the issue of the labor for sorting and the resulting cost burden.
Courier companies are gradually increasing the number of sorting jobs instead of courier technicians in order to prevent overwork, which was introduced at the end of last year.
In addition, it is a position that discussions will be continued in the future on the principle of not surrendering the cost of support personnel to the courier.
[택배업체 관계자 : 설 연휴 동안 국민 생활에 불편함이 없도록 안정적인 배송서비스도 제공하고 종사자들이 건강하게 일할 수 있는 작업환경을 제공하기 위해서 정부와 협의해서 대책을 잘 추진해 나가도록 하겠습니다.]
The government decided to implement measures to protect the courier workers, seeing that the number of courier shipments will increase this New Year, with fewer visits to hometown.
In addition, a campaign to support 6,000 people in the parcel delivery category, which is considered the main factor of overwork, and to have room for delivery is also launched.
[이낙연 / 더불어민주당 대표(설 민생안정대책 당정협의회) : 택배 노동자들의 고통이 이만저만이 아닙니다. 지난번에 우리가 ‘설 선물을 빨리 보냅시다’ 또는 ‘늦게 와도 괜찮다고 합시다’는 캠페인을 시작했는데, 그런 운동 또한 확산되길 바랍니다.]
The number of courier unions and post office workers voting for and against the strike this time is about 5,500, which is 10% of all courier drivers.
Even if they actually go on strike, it is unlikely that a logistics disruption will occur, but there may be some setbacks as they are ahead.
