I would certainly hope that no library authority would leave a member of staff
alone for any amount of time, this is a basic H&S issue, and I am sure that
UNISON would love to hear about this!
Also I am very surprised that a Sc/4 is put in the position of 'Team Leader' and
off managing a branch, small or large.
This seems to me like a classic case of asking someone on a relatively low
grade to take on work and responsibilities they are not paid for.
I am afraid that it all sounds like very bad practice.
