Staff in 'breach of contract' if they refuse work

Staff in 'breach of contract' if they refuse work

Just wow.

'Staff at an ancient university have been told that they must cover for their boycotting colleagues or be deemed "in breach of contract" and have their pay withheld.

University and College Union (UCU) members at the University of Edinburgh are taking part in a marking and assessment boycott (MAB), in which participating members refuse to carry out their assigned marking duties.'

I am sorry that the article is paywalled. I cannot see how this policy is legal, or how it does anything to defuse feelings on campus.
