Solidarity, the country's largest independent trade union, said the protest took place in the town of Chelm and-was conducted without interference from police, local authorities or factory manaeers. UNION SOURCES, SAID work stopped at the plants between 7:15 and 8:15 a.m. when the first shift reported for duty. In another labor development, Poland's independent labor organization rejected a government proposal yesterday to give workers every other Saturday off next year.

The workers said the government offer violated this summer's historic agreement between strikers and the Communist ment. The government proposal for alternate Saturdays off in 1981 was made by Janusz Obo-dowski, Warsaw's minister of labor, wages and social welfare, who said the plan was the only realistic approach to resolve the nation's economic problems. "THIS PROPOSITION IS not acceptable because it does not assure all workers two days off each week, especially free Saturdays," Solidarity stated. "These proposals are contrary to the agreement signed (this summer) and to earlier statements by the government." The rejection came as the Solidarity coalition blanketed the Baltic port of Gdansk with posters and leaflets to gain public support for a petition demanding the release of seven imprisoned dissidents. The poster drive in Gdansk indicated the 10-million member labor coalition was sticking toj its defense of free speech despite condemnations of the dissidents by the Polish media.

Because TruCare features prepayment for health care services, members can accurately budget their health care costs. That can be especially important to young families.

The jobless report sparked a bitter attack yesterday by the Labor opposition on the policies of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

AN OPINION poll last weekend put Labor 24 ahead of Mrs.Thatchers's Conservatives in popularity with the voters, and officials estimated another 400,000 workers, mainly in the engineering industry, are on part-time work. The Labor opposition immediately blamed Mrs.Thatcher's "economics of bedlam," and even a leading Conservative spokesman conceded the figure was "terrible." "Nearly 2 lA million people are now paying the price of Mrs. Thatcher's obstinacy and of (Chancellor of the Exchequer) Sir Geoffrey Howe's- incompetence," charged Eric Varley, Labor spokesman on employment. "THIS IS the result of the economics of bedlam." Varley said. The Thatcher govermment was saved from a bruising parliamentary fight over unemployment by the fact the House of Commons is in Christmas recess untilJan.
