Supreme Court dismissed cassation; membership in agricultural cooperative does not create employment relationship.

The Supreme Court dismissed Bronisław Z.'s cassation appeal against a Social Insurance Institution decision denying him an early retirement pension. The applicant argued that his work within an agricultural cooperative constituted an employment relationship under the Social Security Act, despite being a cooperative member. The Court ruled that membership in a cooperative creates a fundamentally different legal status from an employment relationship, regardless of identical working conditions or declarations by the cooperative's assembly.
