One of those "victories" in your link is titled, "IKEA Workers Win Union Representation in Virginia". I would hardly call that a smaller battle--we all need designer Swedish furniture at exorbitant prices.
So.... you're of the opinion that things like self-assemble flat-pack particle-board bookshelves qualify as "designer Swedish furniture"? What sort of thing is it that you think IKEA sells most of?
Where did you find the "exorbitant prices"? Did you perhaps compare lingonberry jam to whatever jam is cheapest today at Food-4-Less?
I thought maybe you'd confused IKEA with Nordstom, except that mentioned furniture. Perhaps you live in an alternate universe where the names are switched.
My sarcasm apologizes for not being obvious enough.
