Some version of ethical super-fast delivery may exist, perhaps achieved through better wages, stricter health protocols, and by hiring a lot more workers. But Coupang’s story—and the stories of its workers—suggests that this may be a fundamentally flawed proposition. https://t.co/TeQJpvo9Ih — PolitiTweet.org

After one 27-year-old employee died of a fatal heart attack in October, three more Coupang workers have died from what labor activists say was overwork. There have been no official rulings on their deaths yet. https://t.co/F4AFP1qex7 — PolitiTweet.org

But during the pandemic, the casualties of Coupang’s obsession with hyperefficiency stacked up. From 2019 to 2020, work-related injuries and illnesses at the company’s warehouses nearly doubled to 982 incidents. https://t.co/Us6YwAwZd7 — PolitiTweet.org

Coupang is everywhere in South Korea: half of residents have downloaded its app, and its “Rocket Delivery” service has earned it a reputation for “out-Amazoning even Amazon.” (The company claims 99.3% of orders are delivered within 24 hours.) https://t.co/ad3g0DUspL — PolitiTweet.org

In just a few years, Coupang has risen to become South Korea’s third-largest employer, harnessing a vast network of warehouses, 37,000 workers, a fleet of drivers, and a suite of AI-driven tools. https://t.co/zzdRmEzIi2 — PolitiTweet.org

Many of the country’s exposure notification apps are underutilized, misunderstood, and not well-trusted—and yet this technology may yet come into its own as a public health tool for future disease outbreaks. https://t.co/mKXQMly5Ft — PolitiTweet.org
