Member employed by cooperative

Explanation:
The "Soci" of cooperatives are called members. Normally there are two agreements 1) to become a member and 2) a subordinated employment contract. Member working for cooperative or working member are alternative.

Grading comment

To be fair, Alessandra Renna and James (Jim) Davis should get the 4 points because they confirmed what I had in mind at the outset: i.e. to use the term "working member", which seem more appropriate in the context of the document. Maybe it is my fault, I should have provided more details together with my initial choice. Thanks, anyway, to Alison and all the colleagues who have contributed. Ciao, luke

Reference: Partnership vs co-operative

Reference information:
Partnerships have partners and Co-operatives have members.
While wiki is not the Bible, it explains it and I agree with it in these cases:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partnership
A partnership is a type of business entity in which partners (owners) share with each other the profits or losses of the business undertaking in which all have invested.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative
Cooperatives as legal entities

Although the term may be used loosely to describe a way of working, a cooperative properly so-called is a legal entity owned and democratically controlled equally by its members. A defining point of a cooperative is that the members have a close association with the enterprise as producers or consumers of its products or services, or as its employees.

Also as wiki says when you form a company lawyers often speak of the members of the company.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative

In legal parlance, the owners of a company are normally referred to as the "members". In a company limited by shares, this will be the shareholders.
