Joining a cooperative as a member automatically terminates prior employment, disqualifying work from early retirement special conditions.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance office's refusal to grant early retirement based on special working conditions. The insured had worked as a heavy truck driver before joining a production cooperative as a member, but the court found that joining the cooperative automatically terminated the prior employment contract. Consequently, the period spent as a member could not be counted toward the special working conditions required for early retirement.
