This thesis explores the relationship between the AFL-CIO and the Polish Solidarity movement throughout the 1980s. It explores the evolving international policy of the AFL-CIO as it began to support Solidarity through financial and material aid, domestic and international campaigns, and personal friendships between Solidarity and American labor leaders. The discussion begins with Solidarity's founding in August 1980 and the immediate ways the AFL-CIO supported its fledgling period through a heavy public campaign that included the creation of the Polish Workers Aid Fund. The Federation then battled the Carter Administration over the United States role in supporting Solidarity, and would continue to battle the Reagan Administration as well. The battle to support Solidarity took a critical turn when martial law was declared in Poland in 1981, and Solidarity was outlawed. By continuing to conduct a public pressure campaign, smuggling operations into Poland to give aid to Underground Solidarity, and working with the international labor community, the AFL-CIO put itself in the forefront of Solidarity's struggle against communism. That is why this thesis argues that non-state actors like the AFL-CIO played a pivotal role in causing the collapse of the Polish Communist regime, and subsequently the Iron Curtain, in 1989.
