It is time to re-visit legislation which gives shop workers fewer rights now than they had in the 1950s.
That is according to the social legislation officer for the Trades Council who believes The Shops Act has restricted workers’ rights.

Looking back on the industrial year in the Island, Peter Murcott says it’s clear workers’ rights need to be improved:
Friday sailings at risk
Forecast adverse weather to blame
Support available after sudden death of student
The school's head teacher has written to parents and guardians
Manx Care to reorganise cancelled board meeting
September meeting called off due to guidance issued ahead of election
