[Photo] Korea’s parcel delivery drivers declare solidarity with postal workers’ strike

The Korea Post branch of the Parcel Delivery Workers' Solidarity Union held a strike and a rally in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square on July 4. It was the first instance of South Korean postal workers mobilizing in a general strike. After the strike was announced, all union members refused to deliver additional orders. The strike was organized in protest of the wage system that forces drivers to rely solely on commissions without being paid fair wages. Additionally, parcel delivery drivers across the country declared their solidarity with the Korean postal workers on strike, refusing to delivery delayed orders. (Baek So-ah, staff photographer)
