Polish court blocks farm union as Jaruzelski named premier
Poland's Supreme Court ruled private farmers cannot form an independent trade union but may form an association. The ruling followed Defense Minister Wojciech Jaruzelski being named premier after a government shakeup. Lech Walesa called the decision a draw and urged farmers to register as an association. The case was sent back to a lower court as farmers pressed for Rural Solidarity amid wider political upheaval and a call to curb agrarian self-government.
