surrogate drivers transportation workers or emotional laborers?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It captures the stark reality of our society as experienced and witnessed by surrogate mothers.\u003cbr\u003e The author is a writer, journalist, and civic activist who also works as a delivery driver.\u003cbr\u003e Since January 2023, I have been meeting thousands of customers, mainly in the metropolitan area, and recording what I saw, heard, and felt.\u003cbr\u003e The book is divided into two parts: Part 1, \"The Gloomy World\" and Part 2, \"The Gray Area.\"\u003cbr\u003e Part 1 depicts the lives of customers seeking solace in the harsh realities of life with a drink, and drivers with various stories who have jumped into the world of designated driving.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the parade of bullying by regular customers reveals the class consciousness deeply rooted in our society without reservation. \u003cbr\u003eIn Part 2, the story of the labor of surrogate mothers who are left in a blind spot of the law and system unfolds in earnest.\u003cbr\u003e The frustration and resentment of surrogate mothers, who clearly play a role in our society but are not treated or protected commensurate with their contributions, are vividly conveyed.\u003cbr\u003e The various absurdities that surrogate mothers are enduring today are a concise example of the 'strong and weak' phenomenon that is prevalent in our society.\u003cbr\u003e This is a serious reportage that makes us reflect on capitalism, which has the face of barbarism and greed, and the cruelty of our society that is more harsh on the weak.\u003cbr\u003e Following the severe recession under Yoon Seok-yeol, the reactions of customers during the rapidly changing political climate, from martial law to impeachment and the presidential election, are even more interesting.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the

weight and meaning of the same money can vary greatly depending on the criteria of 'what job', 'what place', and 'what kind of work'.\u003cbr\u003e For example, if you put 30,000 won from a room salon and 30,000 won from a designated driver on two sides of a scale, one side will become a feather and the other side will become a rock.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.63\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “How much do you earn doing this kind of work?” is a question that customers who hire designated drivers sometimes ask thoughtlessly.\u003cbr\u003e The person asking is asking about 'income', but from the agent's perspective, the word 'occupation' is put with an exclamation mark.\u003cbr\u003e I feel uneasy when I hear questions that seem to trivialize this job by saying things like, \"This kind of work.\"\u003cbr\u003e This question contains the perspectives of people in our society regarding the profession of surrogate mother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.73~74\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn reality, customers who abuse surrogate drivers are just drunkards, heads of households, and ordinary citizens who have had a drink to relieve stress from their tiring daily lives and become quite drunk.\u003cbr\u003e During the day, he has to endure the bullying he is subjected to, so he may be enduring his life by bullying the surrogate driver to relieve that structural stress.\u003cbr\u003e As the lowest-class workers in Korean society, surrogate mothers must endure the structural and individual abuses of power in Korean society with their whole bodies.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Smartphones are now like black holes that swallow everything.\u003cbr\u003e Human labor is no exception, and smartphones distort labor into a commodity.\u003cbr\u003e We are moving towards a world where the sanctity of labor is disappearing and workers' human rights are being ignored.\u003cbr\u003e At its center lies the platform world. \u003cbr\u003eWe now live in a world where platforms dominate the 'job market', and workers have become 'commodities' themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Platform workers are like citizens of a government in exile.\u003cbr\u003e It exists, but no one cares about it.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.159~160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Designated driving is by no means cheap labor, nor is it a commodity whose price should be negotiated and determined by platform operators behind the scenes.\u003cbr\u003e A surrogate mother's income is a living wage earned by working more than 10 hours a day, all night long, as a professional labor.\u003cbr\u003e The surrogate driver fare, which only goes down and not up, must be made more realistic, and parking costs must also be reflected in realistic prices.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

A job that exists only in our country: a surrogate driver. \u003cbr\u003eAppearing in the 1980s and 1990s, there are currently 300,000 drivers working on the roads across the country as night and migrant workers.\u003cbr\u003e Despite the fact that there are many of them and that they have been serving as a means of transport for drunk people for decades, our society treats them as if they were illegitimate children.\u003cbr\u003e Surrogate drivers connect with customers through a platform that brokers work.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, since it is a structure in which work cannot be done without going through the platform, the relationship between the two begins as an asymmetrical dependency relationship from the beginning.\u003cbr\u003e Under the tyranny of the platform, journalists are exploited, and the platform quietly reaps huge profits.\u003cbr\u003e It is an exploitation of the situation in which the knights depend on others to get work.\u003cbr\u003e The author says that now is the time for the authorities to step in and manage the situation by establishing laws and systems.\u003cbr\u003e They appeal that only then can the labor rights of the journalists, who are weaker in their relationship with the platform, be protected. \u003cbr\u003eThis analysis is all the more persuasive because it comes from the author's vivid firsthand experience.\u003cbr\u003e In a world where polarization is becoming increasingly severe, today's customers can become tomorrow's drivers.\u003cbr\u003e How many people work as platform workers to make a living, because their income has decreased, or to earn extra money?\u003cbr\u003e It is time to listen to the lamentations of those who call themselves 'slaves to the platform.'
