A Solidarity is a national confederation of
independent trade unions in Poland, formed
under the leadership of Lech Walesa Sept
1980. An illegal organization from 1981 to
1989, it was then elected to head the Polish
government. Divisions soon emerged in the
leadership and in 1990 its political wing
began to fragment (Walesa resigned as
chairman in Dec of that year).
