On the first week of the indefinite strike, about 4,000 parcel delivery union members from across the country gathered in Yeouido Park in Seoul.



There was also a clash with the police blocking the entry of equipment.




The union has urged couriers and the government to expedite sorting issues.



In line with the time when the National Assembly is discussing countermeasures against overworked delivery workers, we plan to continue the protest for two days and one night here at Yeouido Park.



Labor and management, which are negotiating in the National Assembly, are mainly arguing over how to preserve the wages of delivery drivers, which will be reduced due to the size and timing of the manpower to be put into sorting work, and reduction in working hours.



According to the union, a considerable amount of opinion has been reached regarding the issue of the parcel delivery service being in charge of sorting.

Postal delivery workers have been squatting in the Yeouido office for the second day, and the confrontation continues as the management informs them that they will terminate the contract if they do not return to work by the day after tomorrow.



The number of workers on strike by the parcel delivery union is about 10% of all delivery drivers, but in areas with a high union membership, delivery was disrupted.



Online shopping malls informed of possible delays in delivery, and the post office completely stopped accepting fresh food.

The conversation between labor and management, which will be a watershed in this strike, will continue until tomorrow.
