When the organization was born at the office of the Independent Handloom Workers Union in Valiyangadi, Kozhikode, there was no beating[ clarification needed ]. All those present had vowed to undertake a great mission. The organization was able to provide benefits to all workers and create better working conditions by eliminating labor exploitation.
