North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson thinks the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure may be laying off workers unnecessarily.
This morning (Tuesday) in the House of Keys, he quizzed minister David Cretney about 22 proposed redundancies among railway workers.
The potential job losses, which are being discussed by management, staff and unions, would primarily affect craftsmen such as blacksmiths and coach painters.
Despite the consultation, Mr Henderson believes the decision has already been made to axe the posts:
Politicians back plan for DoI to bring funding request for finishing horse tram track
Judgment deferred in appeal against rejection of bid to overturn Summerland inquest verdict
Senior medical leaders 'reject' results of rapid bed review
Ramsey Commissioners looking for planning approval for new social housing
Students split on prospect of under-16 social media ban
