<Anchor> The



courier union officially withdrew the general strike scheduled for today (29th).



It was agreed between the labor and management to clarify the timing of introducing the'classification workforce' and to set up an investigation team to inspect it, but reporter Jang Hoon-kyung pointed out whether there were any sparks of conflict.



<Reporter> The



strike was canceled as the courier union accepted an additional agreement between the courier labor and the party government.



The deadline for classifying personnel will be set until the 4th of the following month, an investigation team will be formed to check the implementation, and discussions on courier rates and transaction structure improvement will be completed by the end of May.

The couriers came to the table and confirmed.]



However, there is a lot to be overcome in the discussion of the 2nd Settlement Body, which will resume on the 17th of next month.



In the first agreement, the principle that the courier is in charge of sorting and paying the cost when the driver inevitably does it was established, but labor-management opinions differ over the size of the additional personnel.



Here, the management is in the position that it is difficult to pay additional costs to drivers without improving the transaction structure and realizing rates.



Online shopping malls, which currently account for the majority of courier transactions, only pay 1,700 won to the courier if they receive 2,500 won from consumers.



Due to the fierce competition such as free shipping benefits, it is difficult to change the transaction structure by choosing a company that only receives lower shipping costs and gives the rest as a margin.

It is not easy because it is not a structure that is representative and decided here.] The



average courier unit price is 2,220 won last year, falling 40 won more than the previous year, and both labor and delivery workers, shippers, and consumers Acceptable transaction structure and rate decisions are expected to be the core of the second discussion.
