I have already asked and the Union is against job shares.

Why would a Union be against making it's members lives a bit better? It's no wonder people are leaving it. I'm teetering on the fence.

Probably because it potentially prevents a part-timer being made up to full time. Would you rather that more staff be part-time?

It has no effect. This is two people sharing one full-time job.

AFAIK nationally the Union has no position either way, so locally the rep can decide to help or not. I think they should if they can.
