Minimum service levels for schools and colleges are an “attack on the rights of working people” and would be scrapped under a Labour government, the party has confirmed.
Ministers announced last week that they would extend the requirement to provide a specified level of service during industrial action to the education sector.
Gillian Keegan, the education secretary, invited union leaders to discuss proposals on a voluntary basis.
But she said government was “committed to using powers” to force through measures if a deal is not reached.
