Today employees of the #UniversityofAmsterdam #UvA are on #strike to protest against the budget cuts for education that are pushed by our far right government.

Universities are a place of wonder, curiosity and resistance.

This world is in desperate need of all of these things.

Update: there were 5000 of us today. And a student and I even made it to the main newspaper pic. 💅

“The election results today are a result of Amazon’s willingness to break the law and use its enormous wealth to try and break our movement,” said a statement by the #CAUSE leadership following the vote. “We will continue organizing. This is only the beginning.”

“In the weeks leading up to the vote #Amazon threw its full weight and power into its union-busting arsenal of intimidation and lies,” Mary Hill, known affectionately by many workers as Ma Mary, told World-Outlook in a phone interview. Hill is a co-founder and vice president of CAUSE. “Amazon flew in union busters from all over the country, at least 30 of them. They were all over the place, like roaches. They get paid $3,000/day plus expenses.”
