(Not) MEC VANNIN Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 EMPLOYMENT The independent government would pursue a National Policy as opposed to a regional policy on employment. Employment opportunities and post educational training would be geared towards providing opportunities for our native talent, within a diverse economy. Mec Vannin believes that there is an on-going need to democratise industry and conditions of employment. A tri-partite system between Government, Employers, and Trade Unions should be established for the formulation, application and enforcement of employment legislation. Employment legislation in this case is to include: Contracts of Employment, which should be developed by agreement between employers and employees. These contracts should be regularly reviewed to ensure compliance with legislation. Unfair dismissal and redundancy measures, with clearly defined procedures laid out. Any employee with a grievance should have access to an Independent Appeals Court as an ultimate resort. Health and Safety at Work Act, which should be strictly enforced. Mec Vannin supports legislation to ensure equal pay and opportunity, rights of free association and a statutory minimum wage. INDUSTRY Mec Vannin would encourage industries that: Supply the home market, thus stimulating the domestic economy. Make most efficient use of local resources. Do not require large volume transport to and from the Island, thus cultivating "high-tech" industries. Priority would also be given to the development of labour intensive light industries that provide employment opportunities for predominantly local workers. Assistance should be readily available for those who need to train off the Island. Mec Vannin supports the aims of the Industrial Common Ownership Movement and would encourage the setting up of co-operatively run businesses in Mann through grant aid and advice services.

(Not) MEC VANNIN Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 FROM OUR OWN LAND: AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING Farming and horticulture. We must increase our self sufficiency with improved land utilisation and co-ordination between the Government and the industry. Particular consideration should be given to increasing the effectiveness of the marketing societies in respect of promotion and long term planning for the industry. There should be greater opportunities for youth to enter the industry and stricter controls on the conversion of agricultural land to "palatial gardens" and "Gentleman's estates". Forestry. A long-term policy of reforestation, using native broadleaf species, for our uplands would be adopted, improving the environment and, when managed correctly, returning a valuable commodity to the lsland's economy. Fishing. Fishing is still a viable part of the economy, provided that our fishing grounds are adequately protected. This will entail securing full control over the twelve mile limit in the short term and the eventual extension of our territorial waters to the median line. Strictly enforced conservation measures combined with measures to ensure that all fish caught in Manx waters are landed at Manx ports would encourage investment in fish processing businesses within the Island. This would secure the long-term viability of the fishing industry. TOURISM Mec Vannin believes that this ailing industry can and must be revitalised, though it is necessary to be realistic and acknowledge the economic and social reasons for its decline. The relative costs of travel to and from Mann and new trends in the tourist industry suggest a move towards "specialist holidays". Mec Vannin proposes that by presenting and promoting the unique characteristics of Mann - our history language culture, archaeology, ecology and scenery - and developing facilities for "theme holidays", tourism can be re-established as a consistent element of the Manx economy.

(Not) MEC VANNIN Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 What about the problem of an aging population and the difficulties pension funding? Do you envisage an increase in National Insurance Contributions? In a small island nation such as ours, in default of policies to control the growth of the finance sector, policies to control the size of the population are essential for the achievement of economic, ecological and cultural sustainability. The rapid and unnatural population increase, due to an open door policy on immigration, has increased the burden on the island's infrastructure and environment whilst eroding the fabric of community life. As a result, Mec Vannin believes the immediate introduction of immigration controls to be a priority. A careful balance between population, infrastructure and environment must be maintained to ensure the long term viability of the Island's economy, ecology and quality of life. As for NIC,yes we do,but we will are not in power yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bet your arse taxes would have to go up! Like someone just said. How are you going to pay for all this? Let us have some figures and we will be more convinced.

Go back to school for an education and then, once you have paid attention, if you still feel the same way you might want to come back and make your point.
