News & updates
With this action, FNV and employees in public transport and on the railways are protesting against the government's plans to cut social security. In September, the FNV will communicate the exact start and end times of the 24-hour strike.
Lectures, tutorials and other forms of education will go ahead, unless your (degree) programme has communicated otherwise. Please follow the information from your programme closely via Canvas.
Are you unable to travel to the UvA due to the strike? How this is handled, may differ by degree programme and teaching method. Your degree programme will communicate about this via Canvas. The information on Canvas takes precedence.
Please keep a close eye on the NS and GVB travel planners for the latest information.
