Official Meeting Of The Gdansk Regional Board Of The NSZZ 'Solidarnosc' Trade Union
A painting of Pope John Paul II is displayed at the Gdansk Shipyard during the 45th anniversary of the signing of the August Agreements and the founding of the Solidarity Trade Union on August 31, 2025, in Gdansk, Poland. On August 31, 1980, the August Agreements are signed between the democratic opposition and the communist government. That month, around 700,000 people participate in strikes, and the newly founded trade union Solidarity attracts 9-10 million members. To commemorate these events, an anniversary is held in the BHP Hall of the Gdansk Shipyard, and flowers are laid at the shipyard gate. (Photo by Klaudia Radecka/NurPhoto)
