Petition Right to part time hours of work

More details

Now is the time to free up employment and create jobs.

A large number of workers (particularly older workers), would like to reduce their working hours.

The government should bring forward legislation, that presumes employers will agree to job sharing requests, unless such a move, can be shown to damage the business.
