AN IKEA store in Glasgow is facing a strike after a campaign was launched by workers to reinstate a union representative sacked for warning staff of cuts to terms and conditions.

Richie Venton, an Usdaw rep at the store, was forced out by furniture bosses after warning staff of planned changes to workers’ rights, which will see many relying on statutory sick pay if they have coronavirus or have to self-isolate.

The Morning Star understands that Mr Venton was sacked last month, with further roll-backs of workers’ terms and conditions, including sick pay and holiday entitlement, to be introduced next week.
