The All-Poland Trade Union Workers' Initiative (Polish: Ogólnopolski Związek Zawodowy Inicjatywa Pracownicza; OZZIP), commonly known simply as Workers' Initiative (Polish: Inicjatywa Pracownicza; IP), is a Polish anarcho-syndicalist trade union center. Established by Polish anarchists in 2001, the union attracted workers who were dissilusioned by the larger trade union centers. Through its decentralised structure, the union has focused on organising precarious workers, including in the country's logistics, care and cultural industries. In collaboration with other social movements, the union also engages in community unionism, in which local activists support workplace struggles through milieu committees.
