Teachers on the Isle of Man join picket line in pay row

Teachers on the Isle of Man have taken part in the first of three two-day strikes.

The action comes as part of a long-running dispute between the Manx government and teaching staff over pay, workload and conditions.

Members of the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers staged the first walk-out earlier.

The Department of Education Sport and Culture has announced plans to implement an 8% pay rise, which was rejected by the union with a call for the uplift to go further.
