Hanjin Pushes 7-Day Delivery Without Talks—Korean Couriers Warn of Burnout Crisis

Hanjin plans to implement 7-day delivery starting April 27, but this decision was made without any consultation with delivery agencies or unions.According to the Korean Courier Union, Hanjin repeatedly denied any implementation plan, only to reveal the start date indirectly just weeks before.

This isn't just a scheduling issue—it’s a direct hit on delivery workers' core labor conditions, involving overwork, no rest days, and job insecurity.

While CJ Logistics began discussing 7-day delivery with its union months ago, Hanjin moved ahead without dialogue, pushing the burden onto couriers and local contractors.

Korea’s delivery workers are now speaking out. The union warns it may launch a full boycott if the plan proceeds without negotiation.

This situation highlights a broader question:Can we uphold human-centered logistics in an era dominated by platform speed?
