Wayne Mattison for Community Yorkshire & Humberside General Seat -
It’s a bit late, but I’d like to ask UNISON branches or other nomination bodies in the Yorkshire & Humberside region to consider nominating Wayne for the Community General seat.
Wayne is an experienced multi-trade repair operative and serves as the UNISON lead steward and safety rep for all repairs staff with our employer.
He’s a hardworking, no-nonsense, proactive union rep who would be a real asset to the Community Service Group Executive.
Nominations close at 5 p.m. on 11 February 2026.
