The store is one of only two unionized IKEA stores in Canada. The other unionized store is in Montreal.
The union says workers rejected the company’s offer for a second time by an 83 per cent margin, saying IKEA was looking for a variety of concessions and a return to a tiered wage system. Since not all staff voted in favour of striking, those workers will be able to continue working at the store, which will be running on reduced hours.
