happy camper Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Remind me to get a job with the MEA next time. Everyone I've ever worked for has ridiculously insisted I pay for what I eat and drink, and how I get there. What were all other costs? Furs? Diamonds?

shamus Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Dear Members of Tynwald, Following your revelations about the costs of MEA Christmas functions provided by the Board of the MEA as a thank you for all the staff who have dedicated themselves to provide a service as employees with conditions of employment inferior to civil servants, as an employee of the MEA I would like to ask the following question and hope the Honourable Member from Peel, Hazel Hannan MHK, will respond… During the last three years on the evening of Tynwald day celebrations….. 1. How much tax payer’s money was spent on the Tynwald banquets/dinners and what were the venues? 2. Who were the invited guests and from what countries did they come from? 3. Was transportation and accommodation provided to such guests, to and from this Island, and to the Tynwald ceremony and banquet/dinner, and at what cost to the taxpayer? 4. Were taxis provided for members of Tynwald to attend the banquets/dinners and at what cost? 5. Were wives and spouses or partners (regardless of sexual persuasion) included in all the aforementioned costs? 6. Were free drinks provided to Tynwald guests and their partners and offshore guests? 7. In view of the answers hopefully forthcoming is it justified that the Honourable Member of Peel should question MEA efforts to thank their employees when one considers the gifts that many good employers in the private sector give their staff to celebrate Yuletide? 8. Will Tynwald members confirm that despite no such parties are paid by the tax payer to actual civil servants in Government departments, that employees of the MEA are not civil servants, yet despite being members of a Government Department are subject to employment terms and conditions (including pension rights), less favourable than civil servants? 9. Will the Members of Tynwald confirm that they have annexed themselves regarding pay and conditions to Civil Service pay grades and explain why? Do you think honest answers will come from that? I do not. I think Hazel Hannan has just lost the next general election. But no worries! Jabba the Hutt will get her on the Legislative Council with Richard Corkill. Ha ha ha! Any bets?

P.K. Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hey Vader, are we going to see more of your rubbish here now they've shut down your 'own' racist, bigoted, site. Stick to cats. It's the closest you'll ever get to..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why has Manx Chat been closed? From what I saw it was hardly contentious if you know what I mean. Still, there's always Topica Manks. The forum equivalent to the afternoon valium trolley in an old folk's home. Hey Magneto / Blixo / whatever you are this week / you visit Topica Manks so are they still bleating on about French Canadian accents? Fascinating stuff... So the Fat Controller et al are off on another jolly. I wonder what their agenda looks like.... - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Vote on http://www.iomonline.co.im/frontpage.aspx Was the MEA right to spend an average of £90 per head for its workforce's annual Christmas party? 64% Yes. The workforce deserves recognition for its efforts throughout the year and £90 per head is a reasonable amount. 36% No. The MEA could throw a party at much less expense and it is wrong for a statutory body to spend so much money on a Christmas party.

Isn't that exactly what most of us do on these fora? I would suggest that this is one of the better constructed posts, makes some bloody good points, and at least Seamus doesn't hide the fact that he works for the MEA. Seems like you have to be part of the right gang here to get a break...which is most disappointing and redolent of schoolyard bullying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
