8-14-15 Solidarity in Poland in 2:00
http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/august-14-solidarity-in-poland/
August 14, 2015
On this day in Labor History the year was 1980. That was the day 17,000 workers took over the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk, Poland. The Polish economy was struggling and worker unrest had been on the rise. The government hiked food prices, including doubling the price of meat in July.
2:00 minute audio at link.
The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.

Please help make this happen.
