A quarter of bus drivers may have signed up to the new terms and conditions offered by the government, but the majority of those have done so with a gun to their heads.
That's according to Unite's branch secretary in the Isle of Man Billy Chesnut.
He says most of that quarter will also be pursuing their employer, the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure, for unfair dismissal after they were given their notices in a row over paid lunch breaks.
Mr Chesnut thinks the department has begun to try and split the drivers up:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
