Strike of Lenin Shipyard Workers

Strike of Lenin Shipyard Workers: On 14th August, 1980 the workers of the Lenin Shipyard in city of Gdansk went on a strike with a demand to take back a woman crane operator, who was unjustly dismissed from service. The shipyard was owned by the government. Almost, all the factories and big properties in Poland were owned by the government. The strike was illegal because independent trade unions of the ruling party were not allowed in Poland. As the strike continued, a former electrician of the shipyard, Lech Walesa, joined the strikers.

Soon he emerged as the leader of the striking’ workers. He was dismissed from his job in 1976 for demanding higher pay. The strike began to spread across the whole city.
