On 3 April in Brest on the Bug River, Stanisław Kania and Wojciech Jaruzelski met with Soviet leaders to discuss the situation. "We are all very concerned about further developments in Poland," said Leonid Brezhnev in early April. The Kremlin dignitaries made it clear to the Polish Party leaders that they expected them to act quickly and decisively against the opposition and "Solidarity". The Kremlin is not glad The spring of 1981 was a period of turbulence for the Polish communists. From 16 March, Poland held military exercises of the Warsaw Pact forces, codenamed "Soyuz 81", and the threat of strikes triggered by "Solidarity" in the wake of the Bydgoszcz provocation had not yet subsided. On 30 March 1981, the authorities concluded a compromise with the "Solidarity" leadership. The trade union dismissed the idea of general strike, and in return was authorised i.a. to legalise the founding committees of rural “Solidarity” and given promises - never kept – that the state would investigate the events that took place on 19 March in Bydgoszcz and draft a law on trade unions. The leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was not satisfied with such an agreement. The "Polish" topic was raised on 2 April 1981 during the meeting of the Politburo of the Soviet Communist Party. -
THE AFL-CIO and the TRADE UNIONS in SOUTH AFRICA Paul Trewhela1
THE AFL-CIO AND THE TRADE UNIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA Paul Trewhela1 'It is clear that whatever shape the future South Africa will take, the labour movement has a crucial role to play...' —Irving Brown, founder of the African-American Labour Centre (AALC) . 'At the highest level, [Central Intelligence] Agency labour operations are effected through George Meany, President of the AFL, Jay Lovestone, Foreign Affairs chief of the AFL and Irving Brown, AFL representative in Europe—all of whom are effective and witting collaborators' — Philip Agee, CIA operative in South and Central America 'Using money and, where necessary, the CIA, the US labour aristocracy began to carve out a sphere of influence for itself on African soil that would later be embodied in the African-**American Labour Centre (AALC), administered by the notorious Irving Brown from his office in New York' 4 —The official history of the South African Congress of Trade Unions Washington's interest in the SA labour scene is very high' — Charles Daris, labour attache at the US consulate, Johannesburg, 1982; previously special assistant to the US ambassador in Vietnam in the late 1960s The Cold War System in the Unions The cold war is dead, but the trade unions in South Africa—the strongest in the continent—remain the repository of its ghostly presence. Like the living dead of Gothic horror, Stalinism has thrived in the unions in South Africa in the past few years in proportion as its international control centre has disintegrated. The paradox may be summed up in the person of Chris Dlamini, vice-president of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), who is also a member of the internal leadership group of the now legal South African Communist Party (SACP). -

1 Agenda of the European Economic Congress 2015 Inaugural session 20 April 2015 10.00-18.00 The difficult Europe The effects of the crisis still impact the performance of economies and public finances of many European states.

The European Economic Congress will attempt to answer them. 10.00-10.10 Opening of the Congress and reception of Guests: – Wojciech Kuśpik – Chairman of the Board, PTWP SA, Initiator of the European Economic Congress – Piotr Litwa – Voivode of Silesia – Wojciech Saługa – Marshal of the Silesian Voivodeship – Marcin Krupa – Mayor of Katowice – Jerzy Buzek – Member of the European Parliament, President of the European Parliament between 2009-2012, Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland between 1997-2001, Chairman of the Council of the EEC 10.10-10.30 Inaugural speeches: – Bronisław Komorowski – President of the Republic of Poland – Andrej Kiska – President of the Slovak Republic 10.30-12.00 300 billion for the new Europe. The large-scale investment programme of the European Union How to break stagnation in the economy? Demographic, political and economic risks The capital, regulations and leverage: the mechanics of the new financial vehicle More freedom and more responsibility: a comparison with previously used investment support mechanisms The role of the European Commission, financial market institutions and private investors The need for wise priorities. -
