are choosing to unionize because we care about our jobs, our colleagues and are committed to building a better IKEA. When we start a union at our IKEA stores, we get a true voice on the job. A union guarantees all employees the space to provide real input into the conversations affecting our workplace, especially when implementing new top-down changes from corporate.

With a union, you get a voice on the job and more of a say in how your store is run. You and your coworkers get to work with your managers and IKEA\u2019s leadership to implement policies that work for everyone!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is IKEA already unionized?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IKEA workers in Korea, Sweden, Australia, Germany, France, and other European countries have already come together and made historic improvements to their stores with unions. For instance, they recently won significant wage increases &#8211; which we\u2019re working to secure here in the U.S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is IKEA pro or anti-union?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since IKEA already has so many unionized stores across the world, they\u2019ve agreed to remain \u201cneutral\u201d as we start our union in the U.S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does this mean? Well, by agreeing to remain neutral, IKEA pledges not to interfere with our union organizing. They\u2019ll let us decide whether union representation is right for us, without trying to steer us in one direction or the other!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I like my manager? Will our relationship change if a start a union?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No &#8211; starting a union at IKEA will not get in the way of your relationship with your manager(s). In fact, a union&nbsp;will&nbsp;improve conditions for everyone, including managers, by setting higher standards for wages and benefits&nbsp;at IKEA. You\u2019ll still work with them every day to keep your store running smoothly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, starting at your IKEA store lets you establish consistent standards for how you\u2019re treated <strong><em>by <\/em><\/strong>your manager. With a union, you get protection from unfair retaliation and a voice to secure the workplace policies you need!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would starting a union change the things that I love about IKEA?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you love working for IKEA, having a union at your store can help you make things even better! Without a union, IKEA\u2019s leadership can change our benefits and working conditions whenever they want, and they don\u2019t have to consult us before making big changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when we have a union, IKEA can\u2019t take away or change the things we love without first negotiating those changes with us. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important we start our union now &#8211; to make sure we hold onto the policies that make IKEA an excellent place to work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Am I allowed to talk about starting a union while I\u2019m at my store?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! According to the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA), you\u2019re allowed to talk about starting a union (or your working conditions in general) while you\u2019re on the clock.
