Union responds to claim
A senior teaching union official says the idea the Isle of Man is being used as a test bed for future negotiations elsewhere is 'fanciful'.
Rob Kelsall of the National Association of Head Teachers has been responding to claims any deal agreed here will be used as leverage for negotiations elsewhere in the British Isles.
The NAHT is one of three unions currently in dispute with the Department of Education, Sport and Culture.
Mr Kelsall says what's being done here is not with one eye on what it could achieve elsewhere:
Peel bar impacted by bus strikes
Care funding reform report delayed following ministerial change
Charity plans baby loss memorial garden at Noble's Hospital
New rights for neonatal care leave and carer's leave on the way
Manx Wildlife Trust launches new internship programme
