The Democratic Party-led 'Delivery Social Dialogue Committee' failed to reach an agreement on limiting the weekly working hours of dawn delivery workers.
According to political and labor circles, the 3rd Delivery Social Dialogue Committee held its 8th meeting on the 7th afternoon and discussed issues such as weekly working hour limits and social insurance contributions, but failed to narrow differences in key issues. The Democratic Party had prepared a tentative agreement that would limit the weekly working hours of night delivery workers to 48 hours and guarantee two days of rest after five consecutive days of work.
On this day, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) and the Democratic Labor Party agreed to '48-hour limit for nighttime delivery without rest time,' but the agreement fell through as Coupang and Kurly opposed it. [Omitted]
Agreements were reached on other matters except for the key issues. The introduction of a five-day workweek, the principle exclusion of classification work from delivery driver tasks, separate compensation in unavoidable cases, and prohibition of disadvantages due to non-compliance with delivery deadlines were maintained as in the previous agreement. Mandatory special health checkups for nighttime workers were also included. [The rest of the content is omitted]
