Korea Post, Postal Service Workers Reach Deal on Preventing Overwork

The national post service and national delivery workers union reached an agreement that aims to prevent overwork among delivery workers.

According to sources within the ruling Democratic Party(DP) on Friday, the deal was made during talks between Korea Post and postal service workers that belong to the union.

Under the deal, delivery workers will no longer sort parcels starting next year, a lengthy and exhausting process that was blamed for overwork and work-related deaths. The workers will also be limited to a maximum 60-hour work week.

Earlier in the week, Korea Post and postal service workers failed to narrow differences on the cost of hiring the workforce to sort out parcels.

The agreement follows a tentative deal reached on Wednesday between logistics firms and delivery workers to end a protracted strike that disrupted parcel deliveries nationwide.

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."
