Worker cooperative definition
Worker cooperative or "industrial cooperative" means an establishment in which the owners or members all work in the establishment and are the only persons who work in the establishment. In a worker cooperative or industrial cooperative the workers hold the basic ownership or membership rights of the establishment which consist of the voting rights to elect the board of directors, which in turn appoints the management or staff, and the rights to the profits or net income of the establishment. Each worker has an equal vote in accordance with the democratic principle of 1-person, 1-vote. The net income, which may be positive or negative, is shared among the workers pursuant to an agreed upon formula.
Worker cooperative means a business in which the workers are represented on the board of directors and the workers control the majority of the voting stock, or if the business is held in a trust which controls the majority of the voting stock, the trustees are elected by the workers. The term “worker cooperative” includes a worker cooperative as defined in section 81 of the cooperative corporations law.
