The structure of KSS is laid on the principle according to which its membership, and not the union leadership, is the guiding force of the Confederation. Only the membership has full right to adopt the key decisions through the legitimately elected bodies in the local unions. We have a structure where decisions and conclusions are adopted in full consultation with the base, with decisions adopted consensually by horizontal and vertical decision-making. KSS is a trade union which rests solely on its membership as its force.      

The Confederation has the following bodies: Congress, the highest decision-making body of KSS, Conference (the highest KSS body between two Congresses), Central Board (the executive body of KSS), Supervising Board and Statutory Committee. The funding of KSS is based on membership dues which cannot exceed 10% of the unions’ income from dues. Such a setup is owed to the flexible administrative apparatus which doesn’t require mass-employment of staff for the needs of the KSS.

The President of KSS is Mr. Rasko Miskoski, elected at the latest KSS Congress in November 2007.

At the outset, KSS had around 53,000 members. The process of recruiting new members is constant, and our union in the meantime grew to around 70,000. According to Constitution, membership is organized into branch unions, which form two Federations – Federation of Public Sector Workers and Federation of Private Sector Workers. Even though relatively young, KSS in the past period grew significantly and set up new branch unions. The following are the branch unions – affiliates to KSS:
