Proposals recieve a cautious welcome
Plans to introduce a voluntary living wage on the Island have received a cautious welcome from unions.
Head of the TUC Eric Holmes says moves to pay a voluntary £8.61 are positive, but warns this could be undermined by changes to work permit legislation.
He's worried government proposals to relax aspects of the permit system may discourage companies from adopting a living wage by 'flooding the market' with cheap labour.
Mr Holmes says it's important to find a balanced way forward:
Isle of Man inflation eases slightly to 2.8% in October
Progress on autism strategy welcomed
