I understand that the the BCL permits shareholders to obtain a list of shareholders in a coop. Is it permissible to use the list for mailing campaign letters for the Board election? I don't think that this is a prohibited commercial use.

I would think that is a permitted use, since the board and management company use it for their purpose. They will put up a slate and send it to the shareholders and recommend they vote for THEIR slate, with your shareholder money for postage no less. I think that should be tested in court, the board using coop monies to promote themselves in an election.
We need a list of shareholder lawyers, not these double agents that we have now.
Once shareholders knew what the laws really are, and saw that they were a victim of misdeeds that had ended in substantial settlements for the shareholder, the lawyers would live on that, as there are plenty of those cases out there, the shareholders do not know that the actions of the board was illegal, especially in a coop like mine which is a low cost, working people building

I believe you can use it. I asked for a list and I told them I wanted to use it to campaign for the board election and I was told it was ok. And believe me I live in a coop that if they could stop you from walking in the hall they will. We need COOP REFORMS. Laws that protect the our coop home in housing and bankruptcy courts. We could loose our home very easy. Check out COOPABUSE.COM, register to fight together. Feel free to email me at ROSA.NAZAR@GMAIL.COM
