Not mentioned in the encyclical, but surely in John Paul’s mind as he addressed the question of work, was the foundation of Solidarity, an independent trade union with strong Catholic roots, in his native Poland in 1980.
Ne spominje se u enciklici, ali sigurno je papa Ivan Pavao II. pisajući ovu encikliku imao na umu Solidarnost, nezavisni sindikat s jakim katoličkim korijenima, u njegovoj rodnoj Poljskoj 1980. godine.
