A social consensus organization to solve the problem of overworked deaths of delivery drivers has tentatively agreed on a government arbitration plan. From next year, both labor and management have agreed to completely remove their hands from sorting and reduce their working hours to less than 60 hours a week.

On the eighth day of the strike, the labor union, the government, the agency association and the shipper gathered to negotiate on the second day, and a tentative agreement was finally reached.



First, from January next year, we decided to completely exclude couriers from sorting.



We have decided to reduce the amount of delivery and pay the price if the delivery driver participates in the sorting operation as an exception due to on-site conditions.



Prior to full implementation in January next year, from September, Lotte Global Logistics and Hanjin decided to add 1,000 more sorting workers each.



In addition, in order to prevent the delivery drivers from working long hours, they decided to work hard not to exceed 12 hours a day and 60 hours a week.



However, the two weeks before Lunar New Year and Chuseok, when work is crowded, have decided to allow exceptions.



The increase in fees that the union had been demanding as a measure to preserve income in response to a decrease in volume was dropped from the agreement.



[Jin Kyung-ho / Courier Union Chairman: This is a very unfortunate clause. In fact, the main demand of the union was to preserve the income as the quantity decreased... The fee increase did not go through.]



The increase in courier cost due to the additional input of sorting personnel was estimated to be 170 won, and it was decided to distribute it rationally to courier companies, agencies and delivery drivers.



Although major issues were resolved, a final agreement could not be reached because the differences in classification were not resolved between the Korea Post and the Korea Post and the Korea Post, which account for more than half of the unions.



The courier union will end the strike tomorrow and return to work, but it is expected that it will take 2-3 days for delivery to fully normalize.
