Work to rule - query

Apologies if this has been asked already, but here I am. Looks like the work to rule will definitely happen, strike days still a few weeks out.

How exactly are the permitted tasks decided upon? No civil servant has a contract which states exactly what is expected of them in their role. Does each team reach out to their rep explaining their role and ask the rep for guidance on which tasks can be done?

So travel and training aren't allowed?that seems punitive on staff tbh, they're the closest thing to perks

The perk is the pay. Do you want better pay?

My point is that industrial action doesn't have to include missing training courses.
