The history of Solidarity, a Polish non-governmental trade union, began in August 1980 at the Lenin Shipyards (now Gda sk Shipyards) where it was founded by Lech Wa sa and others. In the early 1980s, it became the first independent labor union in a Soviet-bloc country.

The Roundtable Talks between the government and the Solidarity-led opposition resulted in semi-free elections in 1989
