From the Editors: New Year, New Challenges
Consumers Union of Japan is currently looking for new staff and would like to hire qualified people with an interest in consumer issues. It turns out that it may be easier said than done. We have a long history as an independent NGO and depend on our members and volunteers, as well as the sale of our publications.
We also realise that many young people cannot survive on a small salary, even if the work is attractive.
It is a challenge, but we intend to pass on the baton to the future generation. We hope you will stay tuned to our campaigns and join us as we keep up the good work…
