Work to Rule!
What at first seems like a Proletariat battle cry or a sudden upsurge in work ethic enlightenment, "Work to Rule", is disappointingly mundane. It simply means to work according to the contract, and as such seems like it should be cleared up in a short time. Why not?
Now the rank and file of the Gardai want to stick their nose in the same trough and are eagerly awaiting the governments decision. Who is next? The teachers, an Post, transportation workers, or the politicians themselves?
Who put the extra duties on the nurses in the first place? If they are doing clerical and administration work over and above their original contract, who was doing that before? And who will do it now, with or without a new contract? How did this ever get as far as it did? Dig out the contracts and read the silly things!
