There was a recent controversy over the fact that delivery cars were not allowed into the apartment complex, but the delivery union decided to go on a partial strike asking for countermeasures. However, it left room for negotiations because the timing of the strike was not decided.

Last month, an apartment in Godeok-dong, Seoul, banned the use of delivery vehicles on the ground.



After a month had not been able to find a solution, the courier union came up with a storm called a strike.



[Jin Kyung-ho/Chairman of the National Courier Union: A very common-sense assertion that if residents restrict access to the ground for a comfortable living environment, they will have to pay an additional courier fee corresponding to them... .]



About 2,000 people who completed the dispute process participated and decided to refuse delivery of fresh food, but the strike time was not set.



The courier company and the representatives of apartment tenants discussed the introduction of low-floor vehicles that can enter underground parking lots, but the union opposes that low-floor vehicles can cause musculoskeletal disorders in workers.



It's a low-floor parcel vehicle, and it's a height where it's hard for me to sit down and stretch my arms.



A survey of 319 courier workers driving low-floor vehicles found that about 47% of them suspect musculoskeletal disorders.



[Lee Seung-cheol/Courier worker: Because it's low, I often kneel when organizing my luggage, and I have to keep my waist down. On days off, I get physical therapy, get acupuncture, and go to the hospital. .] The



union is demanding that couriers come out and pay an additional fee to apartments that are prohibited from entering the ground, and come up with alternatives such as building a parcel delivery system on the ground, such as silver courier.



As the courier union has decided to adjust the timing of the strike by mentioning the possibility of government arbitration, negotiations between the union, courier companies, and the government to prepare alternatives are expected to begin in earnest.
