Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee (or Inter-Factory Strike Committee, Polish: Międzyzakładowy Komitet Strajkowy, MKS) was an action strike committee formed in Gdańsk Shipyard, People's Republic of Poland on 16 August 1980. It was led by Lech Wałęsa and others[1] and is famous for issuing the 21 demands of MKS[2] on 17 August, that eventually led to the Gdańsk Agreement and creation of Solidarity.
Over 100 (some sources say 250[3]) different enterprises were represented by MKS.
