The workers at the two IKEA warehouses went on strike
the do not let in the trucks and refuse to load and unload the goods.
We don't agree with them, with our cooperative.
We want the national collective agreement.
This cooperative called me after the strike to start working again
but they left my colleages outside
so in solidarity, I went out again
Because it is not ok that people with three children, with a family
are not allowed in because they went on strike, which is their right.
According to the law, IKEA must check each year
if they abide by the national collective agreement.
They did not check anything and allow such things to happen
IKEA is a world, or even several worlds
one is the world of the foremen, of those who belong to the first class
and there are other people who belong to the third class
People who command and people who work - without dignity
They decided to strike. That is the only thing.
We tried to speak to the cooperative and the company
and nobody listened to us. The only thing they always said was:
"If it is ok with you, fine - otherwise you can go home."
We are not only on strike against the contracts and the incorrect payslips
above all, we are on strike because of the abuse
the insults, the threats, the days when they did not give us any work
because we refused to work overtime, to work on Saturday and Sunday.
This is what we had to put up with for 3 years. And that's enough!
The reasons that lead to the strike
are more or less the same
as the demands for which we are struggling in the logistics sector:
that they respect the national agreement, the different parts:
the holidays, the 13th and 14th month wage
But the spark that led to this explosion
was that 5 workers who joined the union
got banned just because they had demanded their rights.
Let's unite the struggles
An injury to one is an injury to all
