After talking with Attorney Thomas Beckett this week, we seek to resolve a tension between temporary and permanent worker-owners by amending the Operating Agreement of Pecan Milk Co-op, LLC.
We hope that clear Transformative Process for accountability will replace the selection of permanent owners by the current owners. In other words, once someone is voted in, they are on a path to permanent ownership.
It would no longer be the decision of permanent owners whether temporary owners can become permanent.
The current language is:
3.4 Selection of Managers. Any Member of the Cooperative that has paid for a $1,450.00 ownership share is eligible to become a governing Manager. Members become Managers upon the affirmative agreement of two-thirds (66.6%) of Managers
Amended Language:
3.4 Selection of Managers. Any Member of the Cooperative that has paid for a $1,450.00 ownership share is eligible to become a governing Manager. Reasonable and uniform requirements of Education, Training and Information may be required to become a governing Manager.

I this feels good, but I think the language needs a little work, may something about moving with the coop principles and values.

Not clear as to how this relates to workers who are not Managers , however the Amendment appears to be reasonable
