Bereaved family members denounce labor inspection results on Coupang

Bereaved family members of a Coupang logistics worker who died in 2020 have criticized the results of a labor inspection into the company. The inspection found no evidence to recommend a criminal investigation into allegations that Coupang covered up the cause of the worker's death, which occurred after an overnight shift. This decision has sparked outrage among the family members, who claim the labor ministry is giving Coupang a "free pass." The outcome may raise concerns about labor laws and worker safety in South Korea's logistics industry.
