Delivery labor union confirms provisional agreement’withdrawal of general strike’… Avoided the logistics crisis

– The National Federation of Democratic Trade Unions (Democratic Trade Unions), which announced a general strike indefinitely after a social agreement stating that the responsibility for sorting parcels was specified by the management, decided to completely withdraw the general strike on the 29th.

The labor-management provisional agreement, which was drawn out the night before, one day before the general strike, was approved by the union members. As a result, it is possible to avoid the logistics turmoil, which was a growing concern ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

The parcel delivery union announced that as a result of holding a general meeting of members in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Busan in the morning of that day and voting to approve the provisional agreement, the approval of the agreement was passed with an approval rate of 86%.

Among the 5,500 members of 5,500 couriers, CJ Logistics, Post Office, Hanjin, Lotte, and Rosen, the union was initially scheduled to launch a general strike indefinitely from this day. . On the 21st, a social consensus organization in which labor, government, and the National Assembly participated in an agreement that contained the responsibility of the courier for sorting work, but the reason was that the management denied it. It was hard to narrow the disagreement over the timing and method of inputting the company’s concrete opinion, and the situation seemed to be turning to the worst while the union did not bend the will of the general strike.

However, on the afternoon of the previous day, focusing on the ruling party’s persuasion, the social consensus organization came up with a provisional agreement after six hours of marathon discussions, and the union received the approval of its members and dramatically withdrew the strike.

Although the details of the specific provisional agreement are not yet known, it is said that an advanced plan has been prepared that both labor and management can accept. The contents of the agreement will be disclosed through the participants of the social consensus organization at 12:00 noon.

As the general strike is withdrawn, courier workers are expected to return to the site from the 30th. In particular, concerns about the logistics crisis that had grown ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays can be resolved.

The union declared the withdrawal of the general strike right after the voting on the day, saying, “I sincerely thank the people for their support and support,” and said, “The union will do our best to resolve the problem of overworked delivery workers and improve working conditions.” .
