Changes to government, and the potential effect that could have on its workers, was the topic of discussion for a union head and the chief minister yesterday.
Prospect General Secretary Mike Clancy was meeting Allan Bell for the first time, as part of talks the union has been carrying out throughout the British Isles.
The union has around 1,900 members in the Isle of Man, who predominantly work in the public sector.
Mr Clancy spoke to Manx Radio, before he met Mr Bell, and outlined the points he wanted to put across:

'Bleak future' for Manx businesses if people don't shop local
Declining amount of food production 'quite frightening'
Charity continuing to provide support to family of murdered teenager
'Significant progress' on Manxman repairs over the last week
