General Scheme of the Cooperative Societies Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Pat Moyne:
I highlight that in many co-ops, particularly in the housing space, a lot of the staff who work for those co-ops are not necessarily members of the co-op. They are purely employed staff. They serve the members but they get a salary for that. The objects of the society or co-op are driven by the members. It is up to the management to make sure those objects are delivered. The staff are not necessarily members of the co-op and as such do not have potential succession rights or vested interests in the entity.
