Howard Quayle responds to unions' pleas
The chief minister says it's not his place to intervene in the ongoing dispute between the education department and three teaching unions.
Representatives from the NAHT and ASCL wrote to Howard Quayle last week, asking him to get involved and help find a resolution before industrial action is implemented.
That's due to start on Thursday next week, with a meeting two days beforehand to work out the exact nature of the action.
Mr Quayle says there are other mechanisms for dispute resolution:
ManxSPCA issues advice to pet owners as warmer weather hits
Copper broadband users told to unplug routers due to thunderstorm tonight
EasyJet to introduce direct flights between Isle of Man and Geneva
QEII headteacher asks parents to support policy on wearing tights
