Workers on the 29th day of the general strike related to the implementation of the social agreement to prevent the death of overworked courier workers and the 20th day of indefinite hunger strikes took up microphones in inclement weather.

The Jeju Headquarters of the Federation of Trade Unions held a press conference in front of the Jeju Provincial Office at 11 am on the 25th and raised her voice, saying, “Lee Jae-hyun, the main culprit of CJ chaebol, who is creating a parcel delivery crisis by refusing to implement the social agreement, must take responsibility.”

He continued, “Today marks the 29th day of the general strike struggle, and the 20th day of the 11 workers’ indefinite hunger strike. I’m going on strike,” he said.

After emphasizing that CJ Logistics and Lee Jae-hyeon were responsible for the Lunar New Year’s delivery crisis, they demanded that the government and the ruling party not be condescending, but directly take part in the social consensus and supervise them.

The Jeju headquarters of the Federation of Trade Unions and Trade Unions fiercely criticized, “The government and the Democratic Party took the lead in preventing overworked delivery workers and improving the treatment of delivery drivers, and they gave up all the condescension that they had.

He continued, “CJ Korea Express’s refusal to improve working conditions is a clear violation of the social consensus, and it is a matter that the ruling party, which is the subject of social agreement, must step forward and supervise. requested

In addition, “CJ Korea Express, which accounts for half of the total parcel delivery volume, is trying to divert 300 billion won out of the 500 billion won annual increase into profits after raising the rate to prevent overworked workers.” There is a problem,” he said.

They said, “CJ Korea Express is threatening the lives of workers by including a toxic clause in the standard contract that puts overwork, such as same-day delivery, 6-day week system, and unconditional delivery of goods arriving at the terminal.” It is aggravating,” he said.

“CJ Korea Express is showing irresponsible behavior by denying its user-friendliness and refusing all union proposals to prevent the Lunar New Year’s parcel crisis on the ground that it is not a contractual relationship, hiding behind indirect employment and neglecting to solve the problem,” he said. expressed

He continued, “Even after a month of the strike, CJ Logistics is not moving even though the public inconvenience caused by the Lunar New Year’s parcel delivery crisis is realizing.” Is it the so-called profitability-oriented management you are talking about to raise rates for the sake of workers and steal the increase?”

The Jeju Headquarters of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions said, “Even now, CJ Logistics must acknowledge the failure of its promises and start improving the working conditions of its workers. The KCTU will work together to ensure that labor is respected.”
