Swedish solidarity: Transport workers’ union to donate $20,000 to locked-out IKEA workers

A Christmas gift from one union to another – the Swedish Transport Workers’ Union has announced it will donate CAD $20,000 to the Teamster members who have been locked out of their jobs at IKEA for the past 7 months.
