Operation Solidarity Enamel Pins

A collection of small rectangular lapel pins with red backgrounds and silver printing of the Solidarity logo. Each pin includes names of unions such as BC FED, IWA, and BCTF.

BC Labour Heritage Centre Solidarity Collection

Enamel pins were produced for each of the main unions and the coalition involved in the 1983 protest.  The pins were intended to show that support for Solidarity would be permanent and ongoing.  They became collectors’ items for the movement.
