Center for worker protection of Gdansk shipyard, Worker protection center in Gdańsk, Poland.
The Center for Worker Protection occupies a substantial brick building within the Gdańsk Shipyard complex, featuring industrial architecture characteristic of maritime facilities.
The building gained prominence in 1980 when workers gathered here to establish the Solidarity trade union, marking a turning point in Eastern European labor movements.
The center maintains documents, photographs, and artifacts that detail the development of workers' rights and labor organizations throughout Polish industrial history.
Visitors can reach the center via public transportation from central Gdańsk, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the working week.
The facility contains the original room where representatives of striking workers and government officials signed agreements that led to fundamental changes in Polish society.
