The Education Secretary said the Government would consult on the change.
Minimum service levels could be introduced for university staff, Gillian Keegan has said.
Support staff at universities, including IT technicians, administrators and library staff, have also taken part in strike action after rejecting a below-inflation pay deal earlier this year. “Apparently not, because over recent years we have seen constant strikes, we have students not getting the education they paid for, and some not even having their degrees marked. This is outrageous behaviour.”
She said: “This is a spiteful attack on workers everywhere from a party that has run out of options and will soon be run out of office. We will not stand by while Tory MPs try to force our members to cross their own picket lines. The Universities and Colleges Employers’ Association , which represents the sector in negotiations with trade unions, meanwhile said it would provide a “considered response” to the consultation.
