Unions accuse IKEA of undermining workers' rights in three markets
The Dutch furniture store, IKEA, has been accused of disrespecting its workers’ rights to collective activity. Unions have alleged that management has harmed unionization efforts in the United States, Ireland, and Portugal. The Dutch government has been asked to intervene, as the company has not taken appropriate action against the anti-union management tactics being displayed in the aforementioned countries. In light of these allegations, IKEA has stated that it complies with labor laws in all markets where it operates, and that it respects its workers’ rights to unionize.
