Unions say they are pleased with the turnout this morning of postal workers to a meeting in Douglas.
As they await their ballot papers - which have been delayed until tomorrow - 202 of the 272 Communications Workers Union members heard representative Terry Pullinger state the union's case.
The CWU say they want their case to go to arbitration.
The Post Office's management says, due to a public sector pay freeze, their hands are tied.
Mr Pullinger says a current unconfirmed rumour isn't helping the mood of the workers:
Teen accused of wounding with intent to murder appears in court
Section of Quarterbridge Road to close for tree works
Concern in Northern Ireland over fishing visas
DoI seeking 'fair and sustainable' solution to bus drivers' dispute
