  • Annual subscription of currently CHF 30
  • Subscription to our association brochure
  • The sporadic releasing of FIGU-bulletins and other information brochures are complimentary
  • In addition to the annual subscription, according to a resolution of the passive group General Assembly on 9th May 1992, the financial commitment of 7% of one month’s salary per year is in place. (7% of one single month and not 7% of the yearly salary)
