no gods, no masters - 05.07.2010 22:29
4 July, after a long-term disease Rafał G�rski died.
He was an anarchist and an activist of the Worker's Initiative Trade Union and the anarchist movement, a researcher of history of syndicalism and anarchism, an author of numerous articles and books. The Worker's Initiative Trade Union is in mourning after the loss of a remarkable animator of union activities, a man of great authority. For many of us this is a loss of one of our closest friends.
Rafał G�rski was born in 1973 in Krakow. In the years 1988-1990 he was active in the structures of anti-regime opposition, and since 1991 he was linked with the Anarchist Federation, and later with the Worker's Initiative Trade Union. He was an organizer and a participant of many social protests, he was repeatedly stopped by police and imprisoned.
Rafał G�rski suffered from cancer for many years. In September 2009, after blocking an eviction, he was hospitalized. Injure of spine and a relapse were stated. Despite two serious operations, he failed to obtain a clear and long-lasting improvement in health.
In recent months Rafał G�rski was fighting the disease and till the very end he tried to actively support the syndicalist and the anarchist movement.
We bid farewell to a remarkable social activist, researcher, writer and above all a human being devoted to other people.
