Matt appointed to human rights job

UNISON Scottish Secretary Matt Smith has been appointed a part time member of the Scottish Human Rights Commission, the body created to promote and protect human rights in Scotland.

He will take up his post on 1 September and is due to retire from UNISON later this year.

Matt told SiU, “I am very much looking forward to taking up appointment as a member of the Scottish Human Rights Commission in September.

“The Commission, appointed by the Scottish Parliament and part of the international network of human rights organisations has the support of Scotland’s trades unions. “Alongside a range of other work, the SHRC will provide me with the opportunity to work in key areas after I leave UNISON later this year.”
