A member of the work permit committee says the current system doesn’t work and needs radical change.
Speaking on Manx Radio earlier, Carol Jempson said the way work permits are granted doesn’t adequately consider whether local workers could do a particular job.
She says this gives employers a way of bringing people into the Island to do jobs which could be filled locally if suitable strategies were adopted.
Mrs Jempson is now calling for changes to both the work permit system and our immigration policy.
