LECH WALESA
Index card with a fancy black border signed by Nobel Peace Prize
winner Lech Walesa
Signature: "Walesa". 5x3 card with black border. Walesa,
born in 1934, the winner of the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize for his
contribution "to insure the workers' right to establish their own
organizations", served as President of Poland from 1990-1995. He had been an
electrician in the Lenin Shipyard in Gdánsk, where he was active in union
organizing for several years. In 1980, he was the co-founder and Chairman of
the National Co-Ordinated Committee of Independent Free Trade Union Solidarnosc
(Solidarity). The national union received unprecedented concessions from
the Polish government until the union was suspended in 1981. During the 1988
labor unrest, Walesa negotiated with the government, agreeing to persuade
workers to return to their jobs in exchange for talks on legalizing Solidarity.
On April 5, 1989, an accord was reached between the government and opposition
factions on a broad range of political and economic reforms, including free
elections. Fine condition.
