Belated Polish post
Last week I spent the day in Warsaw (photo's above).

The main aim of my trip was to meet with Krzysztof Zgoda (Organising Director), Andrzej Matla (International Department), and Tomasz Laskowski (National Organiser) of Solidarnosc to discuss a joint project we hope to launch in September.

As part of the project Tomasz will be spending 3 months in Liverpool helping the North West TUC to organise migrant Polish workers in the North West. He'll also be helping unions in the region brief stewards and officers about the key issues facing migrant workers, as well as helping build links with local community organisations.

After our meeting and lunch, we managed to grab an hour or so looking round Warsaw's old town which was completely rebuilt following the war. The incredible story of the Warsaw uprising can be found here.
