ILO violation 87 : A primary level union of NSZZ Solidarnosc at the Selgros retail network market in Wroclaw was registered in December 2006. The newly-elected shop steward immediately notified the management that a trade union had been formed, only to be dismissed from work the very same day, along with two other trade union organisers. To circumvent the dismissal protection rules for workers’ representatives, the management pre-dated the dismissal notice by three days. When the shop steward, refusing to accept the dismissal, came to work the next day, the company security guards removed him from the premises. In a period of 30 days the company dismissed a total of nine people who were linked to the formation of the union.:
