What follows is an opinion from the Supreme Court of the United States. Your task is to identify the court in which the case originated. Focus on the court in which the case originated, not the administrative agency. For this reason, if appropiate note the origin court to be a state or federal appellate court rather than a court of first instance (trial court). If the case originated in the United States Supreme Court (arose under its original jurisdiction or no other court was involved), note the origin as "United States Supreme Court". If the case originated in a state court, note the origin as "State Court". Do not code the name of the state. The courts in the District of Columbia present a special case in part because of their complex history. Treat local trial (including today's superior court) and appellate courts (including today's DC Court of Appeals) as state courts. Consider cases that arise on a petition of habeas corpus and those removed to the federal courts from a state court as originating in the federal, rather than a state, court system. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus begins in the federal district court, not the state trial court. Identify courts based on the naming conventions of the day. Do not differentiate among districts in a state. For example, use "New York U.S. Circuit for (all) District(s) of New York" for all the districts in New York.

Mr. Justice Douglas
delivered the opinion of the Court.
Respondent- cooperative was organized in 1957 under the laws of Maine; and we assume it was legally organized. The question is whether it is an “employer” and its members are “employees” within the meaning of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, § 3, 52 Stat. 1060, as amended, 29 U. S. C. § 203. The question is raised by a suit filed under § 17 of the Act by petitioner to enjoin respondent from violating the provisions of the Act concerning minimum wages (§6), record-keeping (§ 11 (c)) and the regulation of industrial homework (§ 11 (d)). And see § 15 (a)(5). The District Court denied relief. 170 F. Supp. 743. The Court of Appeals affirmed by a divided vote. 275 F. 2d 362. The case is here on a petition for certiorari which we granted (364 U. S. 861) because of the importance of the problem in the administration of the Act.
The corporate purpose of the respondent as stated in its articles is to manufacture, sell, and deal in “knitted, crocheted, and embroidered goods of all kinds.” It has a general manager and a few employees who engage in finishing work, i. e., trimming and packaging. There are some 200 members who work in their homes. A homeworker who desires to become a member buys from respondent a sample of the work she is supposed to do, copies the sample, and submits it to respondent. If the work is found to be satisfactory, the applicant can become a member by paying $3 and agreeing to the provisions of the articles and bylaws. Members were prohibited from furnishing others with articles of the kind dealt in by respondent. They are required to remain members at least a year. They may, however, be expelled at any time by the board of directors if they violate any rules or regulations or if their work is substandard. Members are not liable for respondent’s debts; they may not be assessed; each has one vote; their certificates are not transferrable; each member can own only one membership; no dividends or interest is payable on the certificate “except in the manner and limited amount” provided in the bylaws. The bylaws provide that “excess receipts” are to be applied (1) to writing off “preliminary expenses”; (2) to “necessary depreciation reserves”; (3) to the establishment of a “capital reserve.” The balance may be used in the discretion of the board of directors “for patronage refunds which shall be distributed according to the percentage of work submitted to the Cooperative for sale.” Members are paid every month or every other month for work submitted for. sale on a rate-per-dozen basis. This payment is considered to be “an advance allowance” until there is a distribution of “excess receipts” to the members “on the basis of the amount of goods which each member has submitted to [respondent] for sale.”
By § 11 (d) of the Act the Administrator is authorized to make “such regulations and orders regulating, restricting, or prohibiting industrial homework as are necessary or appropriate to prevent the circumvention or evasion of and to safeguard the minimum wage rate prescribed in this Act.” Section 11 (d) was added in 1949 and provides that “all existing regulations or orders of the Administrator relating to industrial homework are hereby continued in full force and effect.”
These Regulations provide that no industrial homework, such as respondent’s members do, shall be done “in or about a home, apartment, tenement, or room in a residential establishment unless a special homework certificate” has been issued. Respondent’s members have no such certificates; and the question for us is whether its operations are lawful without them and without compliance by respondent with the other provisions of the Act.
These Regulations have a long history. In 1939, shortly after the Act was passed, bills were introduced in the House to permit homeworkers to be employed at rates lower than the statutory minimum. These amendments were rejected. Thereupon the Administrator issued regulations governing homeworkers; and we sustained some of them in Gemsco, Inc., v. Walling, 324 U. S. 244, decided in 1945. In 1949 the House adopted an amendment which would have exempted from the Act a large group of homeworkers. The Senate bill contained no such exemption; and the Conference Report rejected the exemption. Instead, § 11 (d) was added, strengthening the authority of the Administrator to restrict or prohibit homework. Still later respondent was organized ; and, as we have said, it made no attempt to comply with these homework regulations.
We think we would be remiss, in light of this history, if we construed the Act loosely so as to permit this homework to be done in ways not permissible under the Regulations. By § 3 (d) of the Act an “employer” is any person acting “in the interest of an employer in relation to an employee.” By § 3 (e) an “employee” is one “employed” by an employer. By § 3 (g) the term employ “includes to suffer or permit to work.” We conclude that the members of this cooperative are employees within the meaning of the Act.
There is no reason in logic why these members may not be employees. There is nothing inherently inconsistent between the coexistence of a proprietary and an employment relationship. If members of a trade union bought stock in their corporate employer, they would not cease to be employees within the conception of this Act. For the corporation would “suffer or permit” them to work whether or not they owned one share of stock or none or many. We fail to see why a member of a cooperative may not also be an employee of the cooperative. In this case the members seem to us to be both “members” and “employees.” It is the cooperative that is affording them “the opportunity to work, and paying them for it,” to use the words of Judge Aldrich, dissenting below. 275 F. 2d, at 366. However immediate or remote their right to “excess receipts” may be, they work in the same way as they would if they had an individual proprietor as their employer. The members are not self-employed; nor are they independent, selling their products on the market for whatever price they can command. They are regimented under one organization, manufacturing what the organization desires and receiving the compensation the organization dictates. Apart from formal differences, they are engaged in the same work they would be doing whatever the outlet for their products. The management fixes the piece rates at which they work; the management can expel them for substandard work or for failure to obey the regulations. The management, in other words, can hire or fire the homeworkers. Apart from the other considerations we have mentioned, these powers make the device of the cooperative too transparent to survive the statutory definition of “employ” and the Regulations governing homework. In short, if the “economic reality” rather than “technical concepts” is to be the test of employment (United States v. Silk, 331 U. S. 704, 713; Rutherford Food Corp. v. McComb, 331 U. S. 722, 729), these homeworkers are employees.
Reversed.
This provision of the bylaws was purportedly removed by a vote at the annual meeting of June 26, 1958, though a quorum was not present at the meeting. See Mitchell v. Whitaker House Cooperative, Inc., 170 F. Supp., at 749, n. 7, 8; 751.
An expulsion may be appealed by filing a petition “to be acted upon by the members at the next meeting.” Cf. Me. Rev. Stat., c. 56, § 16.

There has been no distribution of “excess receipts” to the members. The evidence is that respondent could survive “as a financially solvent enterprise only by doubling its present gross income.” As of the date of the trial, respondent was in arrears even as respects what it owed its managerial employees. See 170 F. Supp., at 751.
See Mitchell v. Law, 161 F. Supp. 795.
When the cooperative desired to reduce its inventory and the rate of production of its members, it withheld the “advance allowances.”
