§ 81.935. Procedure for expulsion, termination or suspension of member

1. An expulsion, termination or suspension of a member which deviates from the procedural

requirements of this section is void and without effect. 2. An expulsion, termination or suspension of a member must be performed in good faith

and in a fair and reasonable manner. 3. A procedure for the expulsion, termination or suspension of a member is fair and

reasonable if such a procedure is set forth in the articles of incorporation or bylaws

of a worker cooperative and the procedure: (a) Provides 15 days' notice of the expulsion, termination or suspension and such

notice includes, without limitation, a reason for the expulsion, termination or suspension;

and (b) Gives the member an opportunity to be heard, orally or in writing, before a person

or body authorized to make such a decision regarding the expulsion, termination or

suspension not less than 5 days before the effective date of the expulsion, termination

or suspension. 4. A court may determine that a procedure for the expulsion, termination or suspension

of a member was fair and reasonable pursuant to subsection 2. 5. The notice pursuant to subsection 3 must be reasonably calculated to provide actual

notice to a member. The notice may be served by first-class or registered mail sent to the last known

address of the member as shown in the records of the worker cooperative. 6. A member who is expelled, terminated or suspended is liable for any services or

benefits actually rendered, dues, assessments, fees or charges incurred before his

or her expulsion, termination or suspension.
