UNI Global Union supports campaign for delivery worker emoji recognition

There are nearly 3,800 official emojis recognized by the Unicode Consortium, but none represent delivery workers. UNI Global Union is supporting a campaign to introduce an emoji for this profession, highlighting its essential role in daily life and the economy.

The campaign aims to provide a symbol that reflects the importance of delivery workers, whose jobs range from delivering handwritten letters to transporting parcels across continents. According to UNI Global Union, a delivery worker emoji would allow people worldwide to express aspects of everyday life involving deliveries and recognize the value of these workers.

Cornelia Burger, Head of UNI Post & Logistics, stated: “Emojis are a cute and fun way to communicate, but a deliver worker emoji is more than that. It is a way to show that we value delivery workers, just as we value other professions. It would show that our communities and countries appreciate the connection these worker enable. It would show solidarity in a time when postal services around the world are under attack.”

Austria Post is leading the initiative for the new emoji. Manuela Bruck, Head of Corporate Communications & Customer Relations at Austrian Post, said: “Emojis are an integral part of everyday communication and are used frequently, especially by Generation Z. However, the postal worker profession has not yet been represented by its own emoji. At Austrian Post, we are therefore working with international partners to ensure that all postal workers worldwide will be visible in digital communication with their own emoji in the future. Our goal: every smartphone and every computer should have a postal worker on it!”

The campaign has received support from several organizations including the International Post Corporation (IPC), which represents major postal companies across Europe, Asia and North America; and UPAEP (Postal Union of the Americas, Spain and Portugal), which includes North and South American postal companies.

National postal companies from Egypt, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Switzerland, Slovakia and Slovenia have joined Austria Post in backing the proposal. A resolution supporting the creation of a delivery worker emoji was proposed at the Universal Postal Union’s World Postal Congress in Dubai and was unanimously adopted by member countries.

The Unicode Consortium will review the proposal until November 2025. If approved, the delivery worker emoji could appear on smartphones and computers by 2026.
