Summary/Abstract: The August Agreements are often identified with one very specific document – the agreement signed on 31 August 1980 in Gdańsk between the Government Commission of the Deputy Prime Minister Mieczysław Jagielski and the Inter-Enterprise Strike Committee (MKS) headed by Lech Wałęsa. One day before, an analogous agreement with representatives of the authorities was signed by MKS led by Marian Jurczyk in Szczecin. This happened despite the arrangements, previously made between the two striking centers, on joint and solidary strike. It was the result of both specific circumstances in the final hours of the strike in the capital of Western Pomerania, and of the accounts of the striking residents of Gdańsk and Szczecin in a broader approach. The Szczecin Agreement also had significant consequences. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the problems outlined above.
