The University and College Union said more than two in three of its members who voted in the ballot backed further walkouts.
Members of the University and College Union will not stage strikes at universities in the new year after a ballot on further industrial action failed to meet the legal threshold.
But university staff will not be able to strike as only 43% voted in the ballot, so it failed to reach the legal threshold of 50% required by law. At the end of September, walkouts over pay and working conditions went ahead for five days at 42 universities, and for at least one day at a further 10. “However, anti-democratic restrictions, which single out trade unions for special treatment, mean no action can take place.
“We look forward to a Labour government rolling back the anti-union laws that prevent working people from democratically organising and block our members from fighting for what they deserve.
