FNV dreigt met staking bij UvA om recht op demonstratie en eist opschorting van samenwerkingsverbanden
Vakbond FNV eist dat de Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) het recht op demonstratie beter gaat waarborgen en dat de universiteit samenwerkingen met partijen die mogelijk betrokken zijn bij mensenrechtenschendingen opschort. ‘Denk bijvoorbeeld aan Israëlische instellingen’.
