Ikea, that family-friendly darling of home decor and Swedish innocence is trying to break its union, Teamsters Local 213.
Ikea, that family-friendly darling of home decor and Swedish innocence is trying to break its union, Teamsters Local 213.
They have locked out their workers in Richmond, BC for two months now, while deciding to bargain in reverse: start with a pathetic offer, then as time goes by, if locked out workers don't come back, the concessions and contract stripping increase!
By the way, Ikea's 2011 profit was $3.85 billion. Profit, not revenue. Again, not enough money for the family-owned company! Its founder is worth $52 billion.
