TEACHERS are being threatened with new laws that could force them to keep schools open during strikes.
Anti-strike laws unveiled yesterday by ministers seek to ensure services keep running during industrial action.
Rail workers, firefighters and ambulance crews will be forced to stick to a “minimum service level” and unions could be sued for being in breach.
Other sectors like education will be “voluntary” asked to keep services going - but the Government warned failing to do so could see this enforced by law.
It would mean some teachers would have to stay in schools even if other colleagues have walked out.
