About 300 IKEA workers in Auckland are set to take industrial action from 12 pm to 4 pm on the long weekend. Workers First Union announced the strike due to IKEA’s refusal to provide weekend penalty rates. The union rejected a pay offer that was less than the rate of inflation, calling it a pay cut.

The labor dispute centers on IKEA's pay structure, which the union argues is inferior to practices in other countries. The strike is expected to cause a lot of disruption for customers at the Sylvia Park store.
