Shipyard workers back Walesa to lead Solidarity again
Gdansk shipyard workers who backed Lech Walesa want him to lead a union free of Communist Party control. They celebrate his 11 months in detention and fear he may be barred from returning to the yard while martial law lasts. They insist Solidarity must remain the sole union and expect martial law to ease when Parliament meets in December.
