That's what gets struck in a white strike.
If it's literally in your job description, as it has been in my last several positions, does it qualify?
Okay, you've assigned me a duty. Give me exact, and I mean exact, instructions about how to complete it.
Now repeat for the thousands of tiny tasks everyone just does on their own.
A white strike, like all strikes works because of collective action, not because of some tricky technically lol.
Sure. It means they can ask you to do other things that aren't explicitly written in the original job description. But every time they tell you to do something beyond it, you just start doing THAT exactly to the letter of the request.
If everyone does it then it works.
