History

May 5, 1957 - That is when the Kerala State Independent Workers Union State Committee was formed. When the organization was born at the office of the Independent Handloom Workers Union in Valiyangadi, Kozhikode, there was no beating[clarification needed]. All those present had vowed to undertake a great mission. The organization was able to provide benefits to all workers and create better working conditions by eliminating labor exploitation.
