Hof: statutaire bestuurders coöperatie hebben dienstbetrekking

The Court of Arnhem-Leeuwarden ruled that statutory board members of a dairy farmers' cooperative have an employment relationship with the organization, contrary to the cooperative's claims. Since the general members' meeting has the authority to appoint, suspend, and dismiss board members, they operate under the cooperative's authority, establishing a private law employment contract rather than an independent position.
