Structure of cooperative organs in the light of the Act of 29th October 1920 on co-operatives; case study: Spółdzielnia Spożywcza Pracowników Państwowych i Komunalnych in Końskie

Summary/Abstract: The cooperative movement in Poland began to take shape in the 19th century. The principles of its operation were governed by the laws of the three partitioning powers, which resulted in the dissimilar development of cooperative entities. After regaining of independence by Poland, such a status quo resulted in numerous problems and became the reason for intensified legislative work. The provisions of law were unified on 29th October 1920 when the Lower House of the Polish Parliament (Sejm) passed the Act on cooperatives. One of the cooperatives that had to adjust their activity to the newly introduced principles was the Cooperative of the Workers of State and Municipal Food Industry (Spółdzielnia Spożywcza Pracowników Państwowych i Komunalnych) in Końskie. Its members adjusted the organisation and activity of their cooperative to the provisions of the Act on cooperatives on the power of the annual general meeting held on 27th November 1921. The statute approved on that date contained provisions harmonised with the principles expressed in the Act and referring to the structure of the organs (managing board, supervisory board, and general meeting), their composition, the manner of appointing members and their operation, moreover fine-tuning them in certain areas, e.g. the drafting of the report from the cooperative’s operation in the previous budget year.
