It'll only set up the group if unions accept the three-year pay deal
The Public Services Commission is proposing to establish a joint 'working party' to address 'broader issues' with public service terms and conditions of employment.
However, this will only happen if unions accept the revised three-year deal proposed last week.
Issues identified to be part of the remit of the 'working party' would include the living wage, flexible working and harmonising annual leave for new starters.
Trade union Prospect thinks the latest offer is unlikely to be supported by its members.
Negotiations Officer Mick Hewer says the PSC should be looking to improve conditions regardless:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Weekend sailings at risk
