Ikea workers in Leipzig urged to take industrial action, as per Verdi's call
The Gewerkschaft Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (NGG), a union in Germany, has initiated a strike at the Ikea store near Leipzig, and has called upon employees in Dresden, Erfurt, Chemnitz, and Magdeburg to join, as part of a labor dispute over wages.
The union's demands include a 2.50 euros per hour wage increase for Ikea employees and an additional 250 euros per month for apprentices. If met, these demands would result in a significant wage increase for Ikea's workforce.
The Ikea store near Leipzig has gone on strike, and the store in Gütersloh has been called to join the labor dispute. The status of the Ikea stores in Dresden, Erfurt, Chemnitz, and Magdeburg regarding the union's demands is yet to be announced.
If the Ikea branches in these cities join the strike, it could potentially affect Ikea's operations in these regions. The outcome of the negotiations between Ikea and the union NGG could have significant implications for Ikea's workforce in Germany.
The union's demands are valid for a term of 12 months. If not met, the union's demands could lead to further escalation of the labor dispute at Ikea stores across Germany.
Ikea has not yet issued a public statement regarding the strikes or the union's demands. The public is advised to monitor the situation for updates.
