The article deals with the corporate nature of associations and unions. Problems of conceptual apparatus, namely such definitions as “corporation”, “corporate organization”, “non-profit corporate organization”, “association (union)”, “corporate rights” are analysed in the article. This leads to the conclusion that it is difficult to identify the necessary and sufficient corporate characteristics, whether associations and unions are full-fledged corporate organizations or can be considered as quasi-corporations. These issues are considered in the light of the non-profit nature of the corporation, in view of the purposes for which it was established, of its public or public functions.
