Delivery Workers Protest 250 Motorcycles... "Mandatory Transportation Insurance"

Delivery riders and freight workers across the country have gathered with more than 250 motorcycles and 20 lorries to make it mandatory for riders to pay transportation insurance and to legislate a freight car safety freight system again.The

Rider Union and the Cargo Alliance held a joint struggle in front of the National Assembly today (20th) and argued that all citizens using the road are threatened with safety, saying that members are driving without minimal safety due to low basic transportation fees and insurance options.

In addition, eight delivery workers are killed or injured a day, accusing delivery platform companies of paying 1,000 won in fares and making riders who are not covered by paid transportation insurance, which compensates for accidents while driving.

Freight workers emphasized that the safe freight system, which guarantees adequate wages, is being driven into danger by speeding or driving long hours to cover fares that have fallen since sunset last year.

They gathered letters of protest calling for safety legislation and delivered them to the power of the Democratic Party of Korea and the people, respectively.
