Gdańsk Agreement

그단스크 협정

The agreement signed at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk on 31 August 1980 by Deputy Prime Minister Mieczysław Jagielski for the Polish government and Lech Wałęsa for the inter-factory strike committee. The government conceded the central items among the strikers' twenty-one demands, the right to form trade unions outside party control and the right to strike, along with relaxed censorship, the release of political prisoners, wage increases, and more free Saturdays. It was the first document in which a socialist government granted its own workers an organisation outside the party, and under it Solidarity was formally registered on 10 November. Martial law in December 1981 reversed the concession in practice.
