UNISON Northern Ireland

Don't switch us off!

Along with The National Pensioners Convention we are calling on local pensioner groups, trade unions, community groups, students, members of the public, MPs and councillors to make a stand on Tuesday 25 June against the BBC’s decision to means-test the TV licence for older people and the Government’s decision to make the BBC pay for the concession.

If we fail to protect this concession, the government will begin looking at the winter fuel allowance and the bus pass.
