The Trades Union Council says it hopes government will enter into dialogue on public service pensions.
The Council admits the problem is a complex one, with its roots in the fact that people are living longer and therefore making a larger draw on the schemes than they were originally designed for.
Trades Union Council President Bernard Moffatt (pictured) says a petition is now being launched among public sector workers for goverment to see the strength of feeling on the issue:
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Strong winds are expected overnight
Plans approved for 'The Wing'
New billboard to be introduced at Ronaldsway Airport
Police appeal for video footage after 'significant' blaze
Site now deemed 'structurally unsafe'
Douglas to receive new lifeboat
Port St Mary is to lose one of its lifeboats in the next two years
