General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Held: the cooperative is an "employer" and its members are "employees" within the meaning of § 3 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and the cooperative is subject to the minimum wage and recordkeeping provisions of the Act and the regulations prescribed by the Administrator under §11(d) "to prevent the circumvention or evasion of and to safeguard the minimum wage rate" prescribed by the Act.
