5,000 trade unionists tell IKEA to respect workers' rights

This is good news.

In the last seven days, over 5,000 of you have sent messages to IKEA demanding that they respect workers' rights in Poland.

I'm resending the message below in the hope that many more of you will sign up to support the campaign.  For those who have already done so -- please forward this email to other members of your union.

Working together, we can send a strong message to IKEA -- and the more of us who do this, the more likely that IKEA will listen.

Thank you!

IKEA has dismissed the leader of the trade union representing its workers in Poland.  

Dariusz Kawka, a leader of NSZZ "Solidarność", was sacked on disciplinary grounds -- in breach of the law.  His union activity means that the union needed to be consulted before the company could fire him.  That did not happen.  The State Labour Inspectorate has confirmed that the sacking of Darius was a gross violation of Polish labour law.

Please take a moment to support the union in its fight to get Darius reinstated.  Tell IKEA that it must respect workers' rights -- and the law.
