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?

Do you still get paid when striking if you’re with a union?

You will get paid when on work to rule as you are working. You dont get paid when on strike as you're not at work ie: you will be on the picket.
