ILO violation 87 : On 15 September 2006, two days after a trade union was organised, the shop steward of the temporary workers’ enterprise commission, Mr. Andrzej Rosinki was dismissed on disciplinary grounds. As a result, workers who had previously expressed their intention to become trade union members changed their minds. Some workers were asked to sign a declaration that there was no need for a trade union in the company. Two of the 19 trade union members resigned due to the employer’s harassment, two left as their fixed-term contracts were not renewed and one was dismissed. The Gdansk regional board of NSZZ Solidarnosc organised a rally in defence of the dismissed shop steward.: Poland
