The Conservative party’s Minister for Education, Gillian Keegan MP, has announced an intention to restrict who and how employees in higher education institutions can take industrial action by consulting on imposing minimum service levels (MSL) to higher education.

 

This seems a confused attempt to provoke higher education unions into further industrial action, destined to galvanise members in the same way decimating the USS pension did in 2022.

And ‘Yes’ it does seem it will apply to Wales.
