- The first non-Communist trade union (an organisation of workers with common goals such as securing higher wages and fairer working conditions) in a Communist country.
- First put forward by Lech Walesa in Poland in 1980.
- It was originally led by Walesa in response to concerns about low wages and food shortages that the Polish government could not solve.
