GLBKS polled 12,694 votes in the 1998 SCCL union representative election, finishing in fourth place. In the 2001 election GLBKS came third with 14,882 votes, contesting on a joint list with the All India Federation of Trade Unions. GLBKS won the election in two out of 13 divisions, Ramagundem I and Ramagundem II.[4] After the 2001 union election, GLBKS gained representative status at area level.[5]

In 2003 several key GLBKS leaders defected to the Communist Party of India (Marxist), including its state president Bojja Bixamaiah, vice president Y. Yakaiah and secretary B Pandu.[3]
