Ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday next month, when the number of couriers increases, these days courier drivers are not just happy.

You may expect special holidays, but delivery in cold weather is more difficult than anything else, and the more demanding, the more difficult the parcel sorting work, which is usually difficult.

So, the courier operators even announced a strike, asking them to relieve the burden of sorting.



First of all, reporter Kim Sang-min did the sorting work on how hard it was.

Mr. Jo Wan-jae, a delivery driver, leaves the house early in the morning every day.



[Cho Wan-jae/Courier: 4:50?

5 O'clock?

At that time, you get up, wash, and leave immediately.]



When you arrive at the terminal, the fight begins with a pile of parcels.



It is up to the drivers to pick out the deliveries for their area.



It's so fast that it's difficult to see even the address and article name on the invoice.



After the trick came in, I picked things up little by little, but quickly ran into a limit.



[Ah, I can't find it...

.] It was a very



cold day, so I completely lost my energy within an hour of working.



Veteran knights are also overwhelming.



Even though the knights cooperate with each other and hand over the missing items, this is not enough.



Couriers that fail to sort quickly accumulate.



When the forklift is moved, it returns to the origin and sorting begins.



I don’t have time

to soothe my

hunger,



[No, where has he gone?] It’s



difficult to get to the restroom to worry about causing troubles around me.



Now the time has passed 11:27, and sorting was completed in about 4 and a half hours after the rails started turning.



Delivery of goods does not start until noon.



Even if you go to work at dawn, you have no choice but to leave work late at night.



In October of last year, the courier pledged to use 1,000 support staff for sorting.



However, it is not practically helpful because it is 1 out of 8 courier drivers, and the fulfillment rate is still only 30%.



[Courier driver: How will the (input) person take out all this baggage by himself? Even if we are all stuck now, the (unsorted goods) roll down...

.]



Courier companies see sorting as part of their delivery work.



But the drivers contend that the biggest cause of overwork is intensive sorting.
