work-to-rule

A type of labor action, somewhere between normal working conditions and a strike, where workers will do only what the collective bargaining agreement requires them to do, and nothing more, such as refusing to work overtime. It is a pressure tactic, designed to get an employer back to the bargaining table to hammer out a new contract acceptable to the employees. Also known as quiet quitting.

When teachers were not getting what they were asking for during contract talks, they went on work-to-rule, suspending extracurricular activities and after class student meetings.

The Rolling Start Rule

The Rolling Start Rule TRSR is a rule for No Nut November. The rule allows you to roll into No Nut November NNN a bit late if you celebrated Halloween the night before. There just isnt enough time between Halloween (October 31st) and No Nut November (November 1st). Most people who spent all night enjoying the BEST HOLIDAY all year (Halloween) have been out partying, trickortreating, or doing some other holiday stuff all night. But if you dont get home until past midnight the regular No Nut November rule can be a problem because it says you cant nut past 12:00 midnight at the start of November 1st. That incorrect rule directly conflicts hardcore Halloween enjoyers who also would like to compete in No Nut November. So The Rolling Start Rule was created to give Halloween enjoyers a bit more leniency. According to this rule YOU ARE allowed to cleanse your urges and desire once more before starting the long grind of No Nut November. This rule was ideally made to be used in the brief period of time between getting home past midnight on the night of Halloween and before you go to sleep. Then you can do it one last time before starting the true No Nut November. But if you want to be very generous it could go as long as 11:59 PM the night before November 2nd. That's the ABSOLUTE latest time you get to use The Rolling Start Rule. Dont be greedy! This rule is not meant for cheaters of No Nut November. Its meant to help Halloween enjoyers out. So use The Rolling Start Rule wisely people.

The Rolling Start Rule is an official rule of No Nut November. It's legal.
