THE FOUNDING OF KSS

The founding Congress of the Confederation of Free Trade Unions was held December 28, 2005. The founding members of the Confederation are:

  1. Independent Trade Union of Education Science and Culture (SONK);
  2. Independent Trade Union of Employees in the Defense (SSVO);
  3. Independent Trade Union of Financial Organizations of Macedonia (SFOM) and
  4. Federation of Transportation and Communications (FТV). 
KSS was founded as a result of the aspirations to form a reformed and modern trade union which, for the first time in Macedonia, would be the true representative of the needs of its members. KSS was set up with the mission of offering a new and genuine option for the workers of Macedonia. The setting up of the new trade union organization was strongly supported by the international trade union family, but also by the intellectual core and progressive forces of Macedonia, and found tremendous support by the workers and citizens of Macedonia.
