Key officers flag retirement

Matt Smith, UNISON’s Scottish Secretary since the inception of the union, has signalled that he intends to retire at the end of the year.

Matt is also treasurer of the STUC, an STUC past president and has been on the General Council for over 20 years.

And flagging up retirement in the spring is Scottish Communications Officer Chris Bartter.

Chris was a lay activist with the Glasgow City Branch, lay Secretary of the old NALGO Scottish District, Publicity Secretary and the union’s first Scottish Communications Officer.

Matt and Chris are enormously important figures in the union so look out for more about them in the next issue.
