With the stated aim of becoming a stronger organisation and strengthening the growing working class movements in the country, the Kerala Municipal and Corporation Staff Union (KMCSU) has decided to merge with the Kerala NGO Union. The resolution for merger was passed unanimously at the KMCSU State Conference.
A total of 85 delegates representing 4,375 KMCSU members will take part in the merger meet to be held on Saturday in the capital, as part of the NGO Union State Conference. The NGO Union at present has 1.58 lakh members. The merger also comes in the background of the formation of local self-government common services last year, a longtime demand of municipal-corporation staff, following which municipal employees also became part of government services.
