NIPSA BACKS PROTEST AGAINST WATER CHARGES

1pm Saturday 1st April outside Belfast City Hall

Northern Ireland's largest trade union has called for people to join the We Won't Pay Campaign's protest against water charges outside Belfast City Hall at 1pm on Saturday 1st April.

NIPSA President Billy Lynn announced that Saturday's protest would mark the 12-month countdown to mass non-payment of water charges.

'If Peter Hain continues to ignore the opposition of the vast majority of people in Northern Ireland to this unjust tax, he should be answered with mass non-payment of water charges next April.

'The government vowed to Make Poverty History last year, but the introduction of charges will lead to further impoverishment across Northern Ireland. Water charges are a complete rip-off, we are already paying for water through the rates, which continue to rise and rise.

'Every community across the North needs to get organised to fight water charges. NIPSA lends it's full support to the protest called by the We Won't Pay Campaign and we call on people to attend the protest on Saturday 1pm outside Belfast City Hall.'

The protest is also supported by the Fire Brigades Union, Queens Students Union, Socialist Party, Organise!, plus many more
