A pile of unsorted parcels at a logistics center in Songpa District, Seoul, as delivery workers continue their strike for better working conditions, June 16. Workers have demanded that logistics companies hire additional employees to sort parcels, which they say is the main cause of existing employees' overwork. The government offered them a deal to reduce their work to 60 hours per week, but they said that they will not take the deal unless their employers "compensate" for lost work hours. Yonhap |
