The Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA), the apex body of 21 trade unions working at various levels of the Malayalam film industry, is set to take a significant step in employee welfare with the introduction of its own health insurance scheme for all its members.
The increasing premium of private insurance schemes and lower percentage of realisation of claims led the federation to create its own pool of insurance funds. It has thus become one of the first trade unions in the country to introduce such a scheme for the members.
