Polish Solidarity distances self from Romney visit

http://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCABRE86T0W820120730

"Regretfully, we were informed by our friends from the American headquarters of (trade union federation) AFL-CIO, which represents more than 12 million employees ... that Mitt Romney supported attacks on trade unions and employees' rights," Solidarity said in a statement.

"Solidarity was not involved in organizing Romney's meeting with Walesa and did not invite him to visit Poland."


Not surprising, a union movement distancing itself from Rmoney. Does anyone know why Walesa seems so pro-Mitt?

since the GOP portrays itself as "tougher on Communism" than us pinko Democrats.

That's just a guess.
