Ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, when the courier service is crowded, various measures have been taken to solve the problem of overwork of courier workers.

The labor and management of the courier company and the party administration decided to inject a separate manpower dedicated to parcel classification, and to restrict late-night delivery after 9 o’clock unless there is a special reason.

At the end of the marathon meeting until dawn, the Democratic Party, the government, and labor and management of the courier company agreed on measures to prevent overwork of courier workers.

The key to the agreement is that parcel sorting is excluded from the scope of courier workers’ work.

The sorting process has been criticized as’free labor’ because it does not pay wages even after a long time.

First, the parcel delivery classification work is clearly defined into main line alighting, regional classification, and vehicle and personal classification.

The basic scope of work for courier workers was limited to collecting and carrying packages.

The courier company decided to cover all the costs of using separate personnel for classification.

However, it is up to the government to provide budget and tax support for advanced classification work.

Courier worker working hours are limited to a maximum of 60 hours per week and a maximum of 12 hours per day.

Except for unavoidable reasons, late-night delivery after 9pm is also not available.

In addition, even if delivery is delayed due to the concentration of parcel delivery ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, it is a policy that the delivery company will not be held liable except for serious negligence.

The Democratic Party, the government, and labor and management of the courier company plan to continue discussing further improvement plans based on the first agreement.
