Amendment to the Governing Documents AGD1401 Proposal Two Job Shares for Part Time Officer Proposer: Leah Francis Passed: Union Council, 9 December 2014 This Union Notes: 1. That part-time officers do a lot of valuable work for the Union 2. That the people who run to be part-time officers are also often involved in clubs and societies 3. That the workload for a part-time officer can be incredibly high 4. That several other Unions, including but not limited to the NUS and Goldsmiths Students’ Union, have found job shares to be an effective officer structure This Union Believes: 1. Those with other commitments whilst they study, from caring responsibilities to clubs and societies to part-time jobs, should not be unable to get involved in the Union through lack of time This Union Resolves: 1. To add into Section 14 of the Byelaws the following wording: “b. The non-Sabbatical positions will be eligible to be run for by two candidates on the basis of a job share. This means that two candidates would run together in order to fill the part-time officer position together and share the workload.”
