Has anyone clarified why the figures were wrong? And what the cost is to government based on the lower wage increases for some industries based on the incorrect values?

Bazza Smurf Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I would like to get this petition presented to the relevant people in Government over the next few days. The target was 1,000 signatures. I have struggled which is understandable after nearly six years of arguing. Can any of you please help me get it over the line? https://www.change.org/iomgascustomers 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should really fulfill it. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Manx Gas are on a big PR offensive which includes sponsoring Christmas lights switch ons. They are sponsoring the Ramsey Christmas Lights switch on. They will be rubbing their hands next week as a nice cold spell supposed to be hitting the island. Hope it’s freezing at Alfs, and his boiler packs up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Is it just me that thinks it strange that Manx Gas would sponsor a function that essentially uses a "rival" Utility's product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesde Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 A year or so ago a deal was worked out which manx gas wrote to its customers about. It showed higher gas standing charges annd lower gas unit cost plus a rebate for all customers. I was quite happy with what I was told about that at the time and most people seemed to be. Why has this been dragged on like this for so long. The whole market for gas supply has changed so I guess new deals /costs will have to be negotiated..lets hope a few people don't again protest and delay implementation of what most people would have readily accepted. I'm sure some people protested and seemed to have achieved not much for the majority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite happy with what I was told about that at the time and most people seemed to be. Why has this been dragged on like this for so long. Most people weren't happy with the voluntary agreements, though. Which is why they didn't get signed, despite Cannan's very best efforts to bully Tynwald. IEG really really wanted the voluntary agreement, and had a massive PR push on it. That was enough to convince me it was a really bad idea. I wouldn't trust IEG if they told me today is Thursday. Sadly it seems that the "energy cost crisis" has allowed Cannan to push through his deal which is great for Ancala Partners LLP but fucks the Manx public right over.

Wage increases are part of the problem unless tied to increased productivity. Wage increases drive inflation in a vicious circle. Periodic wage increases as an expectation is very much a problem of the public sector today. Seldom an expectation in the private sector where demand for skills drives wages. We are coming out of a period of spectacularly low oil and gas prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
