The need for a trades union movement in the Isle of Man is greater than ever.

He says the Island's working population still puts in more than it gets out, and the unions will continue to fight that inequality.
Mr Moffatt (pictured) says without action by the TUC it's unlikely as much progress would have been made up until now.
