Once they do their duties and do nothing which is not on their job list they have to be paid in full.
For why should a nurse or a doctor do the job of a telephone operator or a clerk and not stick to his/her job?

I am a nurse.So when the union ordere a partial industrial action like not to answer telephone calls how much they are going to deduct the nurse salary for not answering phone calls but we do all the nursing duties related to patients. Redicoulous!

In certain circumstances partial industrial action is acceptable, but definitely, strikers should not be paid for the work they refuse to perform. It is sheer dishonesty, not to say robbery, on the part of unions and workers themselves to pretend full payment for a reduced (out of their own choice) day's work.
