Prospect union hope to progress talks
Public service workers on the Isle of Man are calling for possible industrial action in an ongoing dispute over pay.
Back in July, the sector rejected a new pay offer of 5.5 per cent from government.
As a result of that decision, Prospect launched a consultative ballot, which closed last Friday (25 August).
Seventy per cent of its members responded to the ballot, of which 77 per cent voted in favour of strike action, if it reached that point.
But negotiations officer Mick Hewer says such a move remains the last resort:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
