The military coup of December 12th 1981 is continuing to meet determined resistance from the inSOLIDARNOSC. After the shooting of the Silesian miners, the breaking down of factory gates and the internment of more than 30,000 SOLIDARNOSC activists, the military government of Jaruzelski is resorting to work passes, compulsory signing of loyalty document of intent not to rejoin Those who refuse to comply with these anti-union measures are sacked or interned. Despite this, support for SOLIDARNOSC remains strong and in many factories passive struggle for democratic control of industry and the right to a free trade union has been attacked many times. Workers have been killed in Poznan in 1956, Gdansk in 1970, Radom in 1976 and now in Silesia in 1981. Each time the Polish working class has rebuilt its movement even stronger, eventually exploding in the historic Polish August of 1980 and the creation of the 10 million strong NSZZ SOLIDARNOSC. This union cannot be crushed by tanks and guns -it is the days of the WRON (Military Council) NOSC.
