South Korean logistics worker welfare initiatives

Overview

CJ Logistics and other South Korean logistics providers have implemented various measures to support delivery workers during the summer season.

In early August, CJ Logistics expanded heat-wave prevention initiatives, providing cooling items, beverages, and equipment such as fans and ice-making machines to frontline staff. The company also reinforced policies allowing drivers to suspend deliveries during extreme weather without penalty.

Following these heat-protection efforts, the industry scheduled a joint holiday for August 14–15. This collective break, supported by the majority of CJ Logistics drivers, allows approximately 20,000 workers to rest simultaneously to recover from heat-related fatigue and spend time with family. While major carriers such as CJ Logistics, Hanjin Transportation, and Lotte Global Logistics will suspend services during this period, other companies like Coupang and Kurly will maintain normal operations.
