Victory to the workers...
Through the force and actions of everyone invovled with the @ReinstateRV campaign, IKEA have been forced to backtrack and make a financial settlement with Richie Venton.
This shows that organising, tenacity and bravery works.

👉 Picked up >9k petition signatures
👉 Won improved conditions for 12k IKEA workers
👉 United workers across the Trade Unions

Your sick pay policies say something very different.
Workers who cannot afford to be sick and far more likely to get sick.
