10 June new protest higher education
On Tuesday 10 June, WOinActie, FNV and AOb will again organise a national strike against the budget cuts in higher education. As before, the Executive Board supports this protest: after all, the future of the university sector and its importance to Dutch society are still under discussion.

The protest on 10 June takes place on the Malieveld in The Hague and starts at noon. Of course, you can contribute to the protest. Below, you can read what you can do.
More information on the day's itinerary and other protest activities can be found on the AOb and FNV websites.

UM continues to be impressed by the decisiveness within our community and is grateful for everyone's involvement. Again, we hope for your participation in the protest on 10 June, so we can send a clear message like we have before.
