Unionized cargo workers and BGF Logis have signed a collective agreement, ending a 10-day blockade of logistics centers. The deal includes a 7 percent increase in freight rates, improved working conditions, and formal recognition of union bargaining rights.
Unionized cargo workers reached a tentative agreement with BGF Logis, CU's logistics affiliate, after a union member in his 50s was killed by a truck during a demonstration near a Jinju logistics center. The truck driver has been referred to prosecution on murder charges. The union had been demanding direct negotiations, better working conditions, and a ban on damage claims against union members.

Blockades at major logistics centers will be lifted after the formal signing ceremony.
