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.

Better Safety, Better Services

Good turn out at safety protest held yesterday at Tower Hamlets new “Homeless Persons Unit”. The protest was staged at the opening of the unit to protest at the removal of safety screen for staff (see post). Management are refusing to budge. We should now move to ballot members for strike action. I will post a copy of Mick Holders (London Hazards) critical report on the new office and my own trade union safety inspection report on union reps “health & safety” in next few days. Other safety reps can possibly use, if their employers are inappropriately threatening to remove security screens from front line services. Will keep you updated.
