Controversy over the working environment is growing as a courier worker in their 30s has died again in the courier industry, where work has increased since the Corona 19 incident.



According to the Countermeasures Committee for Overworked Delivery Workers Today (19th), Mr. Kim, 36, who worked at the Shinjeongneung agency of the Dongdaemun branch of Hanjin Express, was found dead at home on the 12th of this month.



The countermeasures committee claimed that "at the young age of 36, it was confirmed that there were no chronic diseases."



According to the Committee, Kim told a colleague at 4:28 a.m. on the 8th of this month, four days before his death,'If I go home, it is 5 o'clock, but if I eat and wash and go to the terminal immediately, I can't sleep and have to sort things out.

It's too hard' message.




It is reported that Hanjin Courier's side of the Countermeasures Committee's claim of overwork was explained that "Mr. Kim usually had a chronic illness and delivered a small amount of around 200 pieces."



However, the countermeasures committee said that Kim didn't have a chronic illness, but took no medicine, and that he delivered 200-300 packages a day before the Chuseok holiday.



Since Hanjin Express has a wider delivery area for one person than CJ Logistics, which is the No. 1 in the industry, the time for a Hanjin Express worker to deliver 200 pieces is similar to the time for a CJ Logistics courier to handle 300-400 units. This is the explanation from the countermeasures committee.



The Task Force held a press conference today in front of the headquarters of Hanjin Courier in Jung-gu, Seoul with the family of Mr. Kim and demanded an official apology, compensation, and measures to prevent recurrence.



'Citizens' Meeting to Support Courier Drivers' and Participation Solidarity and People's Economic Research Institute held a'Citizens' Press Conference' at Gwanghwamun Square to find out the facts of overwork and to investigate the behavior of excluding workers' compensation insurance from CJ Logistics. Demanded.
