basic structures of Solidarity should:
"set up a nation-wide network of trade union commissions on the market and food, to coordinate centrally and in cooperation with the organisations of Rural Solidarity'.
The Tadeusz Mazowiecki government should recognise such commissions, regardless of who controls the various stockpiles of consumer goods. They should also refer to the stockpiles controlled by the Ministry of the Inferior and the Ministry of Defence.
• Giving a real value to work. Preceding governments began the process of connecting prices on the intemal market to the level of world market prices. The share of labour in the gross costs of production has been reduced HAMM to a minimum. The Mazowiecki govemment, in agreement with Solidarity, should carry out a radical reform of the wages system, and first and foremost increase the proportion of labour costs in the overall cost of production to the world average level.
® The right to work. In accord with thesis no.9 of the programme of Solidarity adopted by the First Congress in 1981:
'We arefor the universal right to work and against unemployment ... At enterprises anticipating pay-roll cuts, factory commissions should examine the possibilities of shifting employees within the enterprise in such a way as to enable them to get other jobs or to work shorter shifts without loss of pay.
Like the trade unions in Wester Europe, we demand the 35-hour working week. • The renunciation of debts. As the premier rightly pointed out in his speech to the Sejm: "The economy is in a deep state of foreign indebtedness'. Forty nine billion dot- lars were borrowed from 1971 on, and there still remain thirty nine billion to be paid back. Society cannot be responsible for debts incurred by the wasteful measures of the nomenklatura govern- ments. § Full economic and political sovereignty. We should reject the IMP conditions which, if ful- filled, would lead neces sarily to a drastic reduc- tion in living standards in Poland as well as the sub- ordination of Polish economic policy to foreign capital. The military and economic agreements resulting from Poland's member- ship of the Warsaw Pact and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance which restrict sovereignty should also be subject to revision. 5.) The Self Managing Republic. In accord with the programme of Solidarity adopted at the First Congress in 1981: 'We want a real socialisation of the sys temof management and of the economy, and therefore we are aiming at a Self Managing Poland'. • Free elections to constituent bodies. 'The Basic Law must be an expression of the con- scious free will of society. The new govern ment should announce free elections to a Legislative Assembly. These elections should be free, equal, secret, direct and universal. Particular attention should be directed to en- suring all candidates receive identical material facilities for conducting their campaigns. • The question of govemment. The road to the Self Managing Republic requires the complete liquidation of the nomenklatura authorities. Only a self organised workers' movement is equal to this task. This move ment has been enriched by the experience of martial law and underground activity. It should struggle to take power in the workplace and at regional and national level.
