Delegates of Solidarity trade union movement vote on April 21, 1990, during the second day of the second congress since 1981 in Gdansk. Solidarity (in Polish: Solidarnosc, Independent Self-governing Trade Union "Solidarity") is a Polish trade union federation founded in September 1980 at the Gdansk Shipyard, and originally led by Lech Walesa. Solidarity was the first non-Comintern-controlled trade union in a Warsaw Pact country. In the 1980s it constituted a broad anti-bureaucratic social movement. The government attempted to destroy the union during the period of martial law in the early 1980s and several years of repression, but in the end it had to start negotiating with the union. The Round Table Talks between the government and the Solidarity-led opposition led to semi-free elections in 1989. AFP PHOTO JANEK SKARZYNSKI
