Cách sử dụng
"Work to rule" is an expression that refers to a strategy where workers only do exactly what is required of them and nothing more. This can often create a slowdown or disruption in the workplace, as workers may refuse to do things that they would normally do voluntarily. This strategy is often used as a form of protest or negotiation in labor disputes, where workers are trying to exert pressure on their employers. For example, workers might "work to rule" by refusing to work overtime or take on additional responsibilities until their demands are met.
