Unions balloting members on potential strike action
A union leader believes the way teachers pay awards are calculated on the Isle of Man needs to change.
Manx salaries for teaching staff are determined by the UK Secretary of State for Education.
Three unions are sending ballot papers to members today over their ongoing pay dispute with the Department of Education, Sport and Culture, which could lead to a teachers' strike.
Damien McNulty from the NASUWT says the system needs updating:
New Year Honours for six Isle of Man residents
President of Tynwald Laurence Skelly receives OBE
Island enjoyed 'reasonable' summer despite no record-breaking temperatures
Senior meteorologist has been reflecting on the weather over the last 12 months
Head of Ambulance Service 'really privileged' to receive New Year Honour
Will Bellamy pays tribute to wider emergency services and healthcare community
Chief Fire Officer 'overwhelmed' after receiving New Year Honour
Mark Christian hopes King's Fire Service Medal will 'shine a spotlight' on Manx emergency service
