The workers at Ferguson's shipyard in Port Glasgow are remembering 25 years of Solidarity by claiming the workers of Remontowa, Gdansk aren't showing solidarity to them because they won a contract which could have assured the future of Ferguson's. Aside from the fact that solidarity or lack of has nothing to do with the people who work in whatever yard - because they are a *BUSINESS* and they only care about money (the controversy being Remontowa hired some cheap Russian migrants to do the work, screwing the Poles over possibly against EU law), Solidarity was an organisation (but they weren't fighting for better pay, so not a trade union) backed primarily by the Church and the CIA - so obviously it was a great worker's movement. Of course, what is Solidarity (ASWP) now? Why, it's a liberal-conservative-christian democrat coalition - quite the bastion of change. And Lech isn't a popular politician anymore.
