Trade Unions Today

The author attempts to show the role which trade unions have played in Poland. He thinks that they should not be amenable to any party.

Revindicative pressures should be balanced by the concrete proposals of solutions. The revindicative-mindedness is dangerous if it does not take into account the good of an enterprise. It falls within the scope of trade unions' tasks that they should prepare workers to participate in the management of an enterprise, its profits and joint ownership of the means of production
