Solidarity is a United Kingdom trade union formed in late 2005 by the far-right British National Party (BNP). It is named after the Polish trade union Solidarność, and its logo (which it has trademarked) is also inspired by that of the Polish union.
Solidarity recruits from all industrial sectors and professions. Solidarity has already stated that it has no plans to apply for affiliation to the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and will not be bound, therefore, by agreements not to poach members from other unions.
