  The Workers' Initiative (Polish: Inicjatywa Pracownicza or IP) is a Polish anarcho-syndicalist trade union. IP was established in the second half of 2001 as an informal anarchists group whose objective was the common struggle for workers' rights. As a formal nationwide anarcho-syndicalist trade union IP began to act in September 2004.
  
  The Workers' Initiative participated in protests against group layoffs at H. Cegielski – Poznań, at Poczta Polska, at an Auchan shopping center, and for healthcare. Members also participated in the counter-protest to a 2012 neonazi march in Frankfurt an der Oder.
