----brief explanation----
Korean Riders' union staged their first strike on Oct. 18 against CoupangEats, 2nd largest food delivery platform in Korea. The union points out cuts in basic delivery fees, opaque delivery fee decisions, and frequent industrial accidents.

Korean Riders' union's demand on 18 Oct. strike

- Raise up basic fee (for short delivery distance)
- Make a fair standard on extra fee per kilometers
- Support rider's insurance payments
- Provide information on algrithm and data closely connected with working conditions

Basic fee (under 650m delivery distance) had been sharply cut from 3,100 won to 2,500 won by 20% last year. (2,500 Korean won is not more than 1.8$)

"No" "too early to adopt" "unprecedent in platform economy" "too risky to be documented" ...

During 24 negotiation rounds, CoupangEats' answer has been always like this. Now Korean riders begins to act starting strike on 18 Oct.

"Unity makes changes" - riders union's famous motto

Riders' union is now organizing 2nd strike on 27 Oct. with Coupang fulfillment workers and couriers.
