INTUC to protest Kerala's sharp hike in Trade union Registration fees

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 12 (UNI) The Indian National Trade union Congress (INTUC) has announced a state-level protest against the Kerala government’s sudden and steep hike in trade union registration fees, terming it an attack on workers’ constitutional rights.
The demonstration is scheduled for October 14 in front of the State Labour Commissioner’s office in Thiruvananthapuram, with INTUC leaders warning that the fee increase threatens the very foundation of workers’ rights in the state.
The government has raised the registration fee for trade unions from ₹1,000 to ₹10,000, a twenty-fold increase. By contrast, several other states, including West Bengal, still allow unions to register for as little as ₹5. INTUC State President R. Chandrasekharan described the hike as “not just a fee increase but a deliberate attempt to strangle workers’ organisations and curb collective bargaining.”
