Richmond, BC – A Saturday morning show of support is planned for IKEA workers at the Richmond IKEA location, where workers have been effectively locked out since early May.
 WHAT:        Support Rally
WHEREÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â 3320 Jacombs Rd, Richmond BC
TIME:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 11:00 am, Saturday, July 20, 2013
Speakers at the event will include B.C. Federation of Labour President Jim Sinclair and a number of IKEA employees who will speak about their experiences with IKEA and with the lockout.
On May 13th, IKEA locked out its employees at the Richmond location to pressure workers to accept a tiered wage structure that would lower the wages paid at that IKEA location.
The IKEA workers are represented by Teamsters 213.
