Employees at IKEA Korea's head office filed a collective petition with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, claiming they were forced into unfair reassignments to call centers and stores and into voluntary resignations. IKEA Korea countered that internal job-transfer opportunities were fairly offered to everyone, but employees affected by the restructuring were either temporarily assigned to store positions or informed about an exit package with a monetary payment. Employee A and others argue that such reassignments unilaterally disadvantage their working conditions and are effectively measures to circumvent dismissal.
