組合費は月1,500円で年額だと18,000円となります。加入初年度は月割での計算をさせて頂きます。どうしても事務所運営費や交通費等がかかってしまいますが、役員全員がボランティアなので、世の組合の半額以下であるはずです。もちろん、組合の入退会は個人の自由で、特段の義務もありません。

Membership Fee

We ask members to contribute a nominal membership fee of 1,500 yen monthly (equating to annual fee of 18,000 yen).  New members only pay for whatever proportion of that year is still to run, and do so on a pro-rata basis.  Please note that, as a matter of principle, all the executive members of the union committee work on a voluntary basis, enabling our membership fee to be that much lower. Your fees are entirely devoted to covering the office, administration and transportation costs incurred in running the union. 

Joining or leaving the union is entirely up to you; no special obligations accrue.
