Labour unionism in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria: revival or stagnation?

Following a rise in strikes and grassroots labour activism in Poland, Cross-border Talks made a discussion about the current state of affairs there, in Romania and Bulgaria. Malgorzata Kulbaczewska presented the case of "hope" - sharing analysis about labour unionism in Poland and video footage from a 24 January 2022 protest in the plant for electric buses Solaris. Radu Stochita - the youngest communicator of the labour union movement in Romania, spoke about the attitudes in Romania towards strikes. Both Malgorzata and Radu seemed to be hopeful about new generation of activism. Vladimir Mitev shared his views on the difficulties before labour unions in Bulgaria and explained why in his view change from below is difficult in his home country and if change is to happen, it will probably be imposed from above.
The video footage from the Solaris plant protest is in Polish, but English-language subtitles can be activated.
