Solidarity
an independent trade union movement in Poland which developed into a mass campaign for political change and inspired popular opposition to Communist regimes across eastern Europe. Formed in 1980 under the leadership of Lech Wałęsa, it was banned in 1981 following the imposition of martial law. Legalized again in 1989, it won a majority in the elections of that year. [ORIGIN: translating Polish Solidarność](波兰的)团结工会(由一次独立的工会运动发展成要求政治改革的群众运动, 鼓动人们在东欧反对共产主义政权, 1980年在瓦文萨的领导下成立, 在军事管制法实施后于1981年被禁, 1989年又被合法化, 并在当年的大选中获得了多数支持)。
