Since 28 January 2014, we have been continuously acting in the interest of our members, consistently supporting them in the fight for workers’ rights. For over two years, we have effectively provided assistance to members requiring professional support, offering both advisory services and concrete legal actions.

The impulse for establishing the Solidaritet trade union came from the problems encountered by workers in workplaces across Norway. From the very beginning, our activities have focused on counteracting abuses and strengthening the position of workers in the labour market.

Solidaritet is an open organization – membership is available not only to Polish citizens, but to anyone experiencing unfair treatment or unlawful practices by employers in Norway.

Our actions bring measurable results – we have won over 200 court cases, effectively representing our members and contributing to improved labor standards.

We are also active internationally – we participate in forums and debates within the United Nations, EU institutions, and the International Labour Organization (ILO). We have repeatedly acted as experts on labour rights issues, sharing our experience and practical knowledge.

We are also engaged in promoting social dialogue and analyzing the impact of new technologies on the work environment, including their consequences for workers’ rights, work organization, and job security.
