<Reporter> As
a result of voting for union members from the 14th to yesterday (16th) from the 14th to yesterday (16th), the national courier union has decided to stop sorting before delivery from the 21st.
According to the union, more than 95% of the votes agreed to stop the sorting process.
The union said that seven courier workers were overworked this year alone, and the reason was the sorting work without pay.
The courier drivers have to go to the distribution center from early morning to sort out the quantity by dong, but they are not paid separately, and they have to work late at night to finish the delivery after the sorting process is finished.

particular, this Chuseok holiday is expected to increase by more than 30% from last year.
The union said that the management should put in additional manpower even temporarily before the holiday season.
The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs also requested the parcel delivery industry to recruit personnel for delivery and sorting on the 10th, but no clear measures have been made yet.
