Today's Labor Quote: Lech Walesa

8/14/2019

“Tanks can threaten and massacre us, but they will never be able to force us to work.”

Walesa was the co-founder of Solidarity, the Polish union that seized the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk on this date in 1980. Sixteen days later the government officially recognized the union, and many consider the event the beginning of the end for the Iron Curtain.
