Consumer protection legislation and cooperatives

Abstract

Modern co-operation was born as a consumer movement to ameliorate the condition of the working class by means of defending their salaries and organizing the demand. Thus, the co-operative is a genuine expression of voluntary and democratic consumer’s defence, existing previous to the State intervention. Therefore, the application of the consumer legislation to the relation between the co-operatives and their members became redundant because the co-operative is only the organization of the consumers themselves.
