Government says it's happy the unions have got behind proposed changes to the public sector pension scheme.
Changes to the Unified Scheme will go before Tynwald next week - they include a six per cent reduction in benefits and a 2.5 per cent increase in contributions.
Unions, including Unite and Prospect, balloted their members on the changes - if they disagreed industrial action would have been taken.
Both announced this week their members would support the new plans - chief executive of the Public Sector Pensions Authority Ian Murray says that's good news:
