A great union has said that he is prepared to take Ireland from the North to a “point of death” to press Westminster and Stormant about the planned changes in well -being payments.
In March The United Kingdom government announced movements destined to save £ 5 billion a year In the benefits system for 2030.
The changes will make it difficult for people with less severe conditions to claim disabilities.
Additional benefits payments for health conditions will also freeze for current claimants and are almost reduced by half for new applicants.
Patrick Mulholland, Undersecretary General of NIPSA (Public Service Alliance of Northern Ireland), said the unions “were not going to tolerate” the review.
Speaking in a protest against the changes outside the Northern Ireland office in Belfast, he said that the unions were prepared to take Northern Ireland to a “dead point” if that was what it was for Stormont to enter mitigations in the new system.
“It is clear that this is a political decision instead of a financial one,” he said.
“We are going to fight to defend the welfare state … we do it because to transmit the message to Stormant, or exert pressure on the central government and make money free or prepare a mitigation package so that, as ordinary, the weight of tea.” T. “
The benefits system is transmitted in Northern Ireland, but in practice the Stormant administration mainly copy what is happening in England and Wales.
The Minister of Communities of Stormant, Gordon Lyons, of the Democratic Unionist Party, said that the Northern Ireland Executive did not have the resources to mitigate the Labor Plans.
Tony O’Reilly of disabled people against the cuts in Northern Ireland said his group continues to campaign to protect “dignity and human justice.”
“We are asking for quality of life, nothing more, nothing less. Do not leave millions of us in homelessness,” he added.
The parliamentarians of the Social Democratic and Labor Party (SDLP) and the Alliance party also attended the protest, along with people before Gerry Carroll.
The SDLP leader, Claire Hanna, said the politicians “would fight with you the best we can,” and added that what work had given since he assumed the position in July was “far from the change” he had promised.
“It will leave the most demoralized people than under the conservatives,” said Belfast South and Mid Down parliamentarian.
The deputy of the Lagan Valley, Sorcha Eastwood, or Alliance, said the changes were an “unpleasant and vile attack” that was not carried out in his name, while Carroll said that Stormont needed “to grow a spine” and introduction mitigation.
Stormant has previously acted to compensate for changes in the benefits introduced in England, including the controversial bedroom tax.
But with this last series of incoming changes, the ministers have said that they do not have the financial fire power to re -enter.
