Prospect's new general secretary says as the Manx government looks to privatise some services, it should learn from the mistakes of its United Kingdom counterpart.
Mike Clancy was on the Island yesterday to meet with representatives and members of the union.
Their concerns included pay constraints and freezes, and job security as government looks to cut its provision of services.
Mr Clancy says certain principles should be adhered to, if the Manx government begins to outsource:
Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Gusts up to 75mph expected on Saturday
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
Smile Dental Care 'not currently providing services'
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
Talks taking place over mitigation measures as sailing schedule disrupted
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Manxman's crossings held up overnight and throughout Good Friday
