The port of the Polish city of Gdansk is the birthplace of Solidarity.The union that is -- the one properly known as "NSZZ Solidarnosc".
That was more than three decades ago, and today in a very changed world, we are once again being asked by port workers in Gdansk to show our solidarity.
Maciek Konopka has been sacked from his job at Deepwater Container Terminal (DCT) in Gdansk because he's a committed and active trade union leader.
It's the latest in a line of union-busting actions by management including intimidation, threats of dismissal, and nine other workers being forced to leave.
The employer is refusing to bargain collectively and address a wide range of issues including temporary contracts, pay, holiday work and more.
NSZZ Solidarnosc and the International Transport Workers Federation have launched a global campaign in solidarity with the port workers of Gdansk.
Please take a moment to send off your message demanding that Maciek be reinstated and that union-busting in the port of Gdansk stop:
