Canada : IKEA Montreal employees vote to strike
Montreal IKEA union members rejected their employer’s latest offer at a general meeting on Sunday and provided a mandate for pressure tactics including a 24-hour strike.
Employees voted 92 per cent
in favour of the strike, which will be triggered at an appropriate time, according to the union.
Workers at the IKEA branch in Saint-Laurent demanded better job protection and fair wage increases. They have called the employer’s offers “insulting.”
The collective agreement expired in December 2015. The union represents about 350 workers.
