The Supreme Court set aside lower court rulings that awarded damages instead of reinstatement to a cooperative worker dismissed due to economic necessity. The worker argued the dismissal violated specific cooperative labor laws, while the employer claimed economic redundancy justified termination without assessing qualifications. The court ruled that members of a cooperative labor union have a unique obligation to remain employed, making damages an inappropriate remedy when statutory conditions for dismissal are met.
