[인터뷰] “The first agreement on countermeasures for courier service is’closed agreement'”

[시사포커스 / 강민 기자] It was argued that the first settlement of the social consensus organization related to the delivery accident company was concluded as a closed agreement, and in the process, there were many problems, such as including individual issues of individual agencies and union officials in the additional agreement.

Kim Jong-cheol, chairman of the CJ Logistics Courier Agency Association, said that it was not possible to accept the’first agreement of the courier courier countermeasures committee’. On the 4th, a press conference related to this was announced.

Chairman Kim said, “The Social Consensus Organization for Countermeasures for Courier Workers has held several working-level meetings and two sub-meetings, gathering the opinions of all stakeholders, and made an agreement. The day before the agreement was written, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the labor union met and made a separate agreement. “We cannot accept agreements except for the alliance of agencies, which are interested parties, such as undergoing undemocratic procedures such as partial amendments.”

Although there has already been an agreement through a public discussion process between the stakeholders, some arguments are emphasized and some are excluded. In the process of writing the agreement, the government and the ruling party said that the day before the union strike, the agency was excluded, and in the process, it was pointed out that only the courier service provider and the union were called to make an additional agreement. In addition, it emphasized the existence of a back-side contract.

Chairman Kim said, “The shocking content of the agreements prepared by the social consensus organization included the reinstatement of the head of the courier union, A branch, whose contract was terminated due to the expiration of the contract period for the Changnyeong distribution store. Misuse of the social consensus organization as a personal consensus organization. “I did it.”

In addition, it was revealed that the input of classification support that each courier company is currently emphasizing is from the agency, not the delivery service provider. The courier service provider emphasized that they were committing immoral acts, such as transferring the costs and responsibilities required for the sorting personnel to the agency, just after taking pictures after making an agreement and announcement.

Chairman Kim urged all the parties to the closed room agreement to apologize, such as the Democratic Party People’s Living Conference, who participated in the preparation of the first agreement.

Chairman Kim said, “The purpose of the social consensus organization is to prevent overwork and shorten working hours. According to this first agreement, if classification personnel are not put in, the delivery personnel will be paid corresponding expenses.” “Rather than the sorting and delivery being separated, the courier drivers do both sorting and delivery and require additional expenses corresponding to the sorting task,” he said.

He continued, “I know that it is a difficult alternative in reality, but to solve the fundamental problem, it is necessary to prevent overwork of the courier driver with an appropriate working time rather than separating the sorting task and paying the corresponding compensation.” He pointed out that new alternatives, such as non-face-to-face delivery standards such as expansion of courier boxes, and business liability insurance, must be made standard.”

In the field, voices against Chairman Kim’s opinion are loud. Money issues such as reducing the earnings of delivery drivers or having to secure individual budgets are involved. However, Chairman Kim said that for the first time since the launch of the parcel delivery industry, it is necessary to find an efficient way to transform it into a new system.

Chairman Kim also expressed his position on the agency’s useless theory that the delivery company claims. This is because some of the parcel delivery industry argued that it would be better for a courier to operate a direct hiring center like an agency.

Chairman Kim said, “The real main body of the parcel delivery business is the agency. Agency uselessness is only the voice of some unions. The parcel delivery agency manages all of the job search for delivery technicians and generates 70% of the on-site sales through on-site sales.” The courier agency is responsible for the management of the courier service and most of the on-site sales. In addition, the courier service engineer belonging to the agency is in charge of the actual collection work, and the agency is in charge of the bonds incurred in the transaction relationship with the shipper,” he explained.

He continued, “The delivery service management and customer management of the delivery service are also in charge of the delivery service industry, so that the agency is in charge of the role of the agency. If you have doubts about the role of the agency and insist on uselessness, you do not understand at all or try to mislead the delivery industry. Intention” he added.

Meanwhile, representatives of four parcel delivery companies (CJ Logistics, Lotte, Hanjin, and Rosen) will hold a press conference in front of the main gate of the National Assembly on the morning of the 4th to reveal their position on the agreement on the’Social Consensus Organization for Countermeasures for Overworked Parcel Workers’.
