Creation of industrial relations body in progress
Those involved in the creation of a new industrial relations forum say it could help avoid future disputes between unions and government.
It's in the process of being established by a number of groups and the Policy and Reform Minister, Ray Harmer.
Representatives from Unite, Prospect and NASUWT hope the forum will allow unions to influence policy at an early stage.
But Unite's Debbie Halsall warns engagement from government must be meaningful, or the forum will lose credibility:
You can hear more from that interview below, where Geraldine O'Neill from teaching union NASUWT and Mrs Halsall explained what benefits the forum could bring, to Manx Radio's Ewan Gawne:
Residents still want to see what wind farm will look like
Construction costs on the Island 18% above UK average and comparable with Outer London
Manx residents 'will probably need to pay more' if they want universal health service
