“The four biggest trade unions operating in
Silesia - Solidarnosc, OPZZ, FZZ and ‘August 80’ - have set up a protest
and strike committee. This means the beginning of the preparation of a
general strike. If the trade unionists are unable to come to an
agreement with the government, the protest could take place in February.
(…) "Our goal is to obtain a change in the government’s socio-economic
policy and if we cannot – a change of government"- said the leader of
‘August 80 ‘, Boguslaw Zietek, during the press conference.
"We do not go on strike for the
sake of it. If over three to four months we come to an agreement with
the government and if that leads to a change in the socio-economic
policy, then of course there will be no strike"- said the leader of
Solidarnosc in Silesia, Dominik Vijay.”
