The Isle of Man Employers' Federation was established after the First World War with the objective
of re-securing apprenticeships for returning soldiers and ensuring there was a skilled workforce to
meet the Islands demands.

 

Membership of the Isle of Man Employers' Federation is open to all. The core membership is
traditionally contruction contracting organisations, but current memberships includes business
from security, quarrying, logistics, manufacturing and retail.

 

Membership offers a range of services to members designed to meet the needs of most
businesses, including advice on employment issues, dealing with Government, and legislative
requirements. More specific advice is available to businesses operating within the
construction indusrty such as conditions of contract, disputes and self-employment.

 

In recent years the Federation has developed excellent relationships with Government, and
meets with the Ministers of those Departments concerned with a number of construction related
issues on a regular basis. The Federation also negotiatesthe terms of the Joint Industrial
Council Building Industry Working Rules with the appropriate trade union bodies.
