Major Turning Point In History: Gdansk Shipyard Strike

The strike at the Gdansk shipyard became a major turning point in history. This incident occurred in August 1980. It only started in an isolated area, but it expanded hope throughout Poland. The strikes themselves are led by great leaders, but this is a very historical event. There is no doubt that Lech Walesa is a great man, a noble speaker and a strong leader. However, his life is not necessarily happy.

During the labor strike that began at the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk, Poland in August 1980, Anna Warren Tinovitz and Lech Walesa became one of the key figures, then swept through Poland and later became an independent union The right to form was born. Walentynowicz began working at the Lenin shipyard in 1950. She represented the rights of workers as dishonest activists and became founding members of the Coastal Free Trade Association (WZZ) in the 1970s. On August 7, 1980, a few months before she retired, she was dismissed at work at a shipyard as she was a member of an illegal labor union. Her colleague emphasized her and her dismissal gathered her colleagues together and caused a strike in August 1980 and restored the work of Walentynowicz, the largest requirement of Wawensa, to the Communist authorities . She died on 10th April 2010

In the early summer of 1980, Poland began a wave of new strikes. Gdansk's free trade union organization had planned a strike at the Lenin shipyard, but on August 14 Wawensa jumped over the fence of the garden so that he joined the striker at once. His strategy - the administration was forced to make a concession by occupying the work place rather than marching on the street, announcing broad political demands and dissatisfaction with local workers, and combining forces with Polish intellectuals . "Unification" was born, and the so-called self-control revolution (which did not directly challenge the political leadership of the Communist Party) began.
