WORKERS who won £2.6million on the Lotto have asked to go part-time so colleagues escape redundancy.
The offer was made by most of the 23 winners in a syndicate after bosses planned to axe jobs at Havebury Housing Partnership.
The generous pals, who each scooped £114,357, told union officials they were willing to cut their hours or job share.
Management are considering the offer as a way of avoiding some redundancies among 200 staff at Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
All 23 vowed to carry on working when they picked up a £2,630,225 cheque in November.
Sasha Pearce, regional organiser for the public service union Unite, said: “It’s a lovely idea.”
One staff member said: “All the winners are a great bunch of people.”
