Description
On 22nd September 1980, Soldiarity, the independent Polish trade union, was formally founded when 36 regional unions united under the name Solidarność.
The union emerged from a strike which began in August 1980 at the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk. Led by Lech Walesa, workers demanded reinstatement of laid off colleagues and wage rises, and over a few days strikes spread throughout most of Poland. On 31 August, an agreement was reached between the communist authorities and strikers that allowed for free and independent unions, together with freedom of religious and political oppression, Within a year and the union had 10 million members, a third of Poland’s working age population. This is a dramatisation of the two weeks of the strike.
