Original article, by Wojtek Orowiecki, Group for a Workers’ Party (GPR), CWI in Poland and sub-headed Government and bosses try to crush the workers’ movement via socialistworld.net:
A wave of strikes and protests has been sweeping through Poland for months, above all due to the galloping price of food and energy. In July there were demonstrations of several thousands of workers in a number of towns and more groups of workers are preparing to strike. However, as we can expect, the government and bosses are not taking this lying down. Changes to the labour code have been announced for September, which make strikes practically impossible. At the same time striking workers are victimised and face the use of force even now.
