Regulation in the Basque Country Cooperatives Law and in the State Law, concerning the option of Social Security scheme classification, subrogation in service contracts or administrative concessions, and the probationary period in Worker Cooperatives
Abstract
Associated Labor Cooperative Societies enjoy great autonomy with regard to their internal operating rules, since they are self-managed by their members, and not through labor ties. In these entities, it is necessary to ensure the appropriate use of the Principle of Self-regulation by the working members, as well as that they carry out their work in an adequate and effective manner in accordance with the corporate purpose of the entity. In this work, a legal analysis has been carried out in accordance with Law 11/2019, of December 20, on Cooperatives of the Basque Country and Law 27/1999, of July 16, on Cooperatives, regarding the regulation in Law 11/2019, of December 20, on Cooperatives of the Basque Country and in Law 27/1999, of July 16, on Cooperatives, on the option of framing the Social Security Regime of Associated Work Cooperatives (in what successive CTA), of subrogation for working members in service contracts or administrative concessions, and of the trial period for working members, using jurisprudential and doctrinal pronouncements related to the subject of study. And finally, a series of legal conclusions are drawn on each of the matters analyzed in this article.
