Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Leaders of London Underground drivers yesterday cancelled a 24- hour stoppage scheduled for next Tuesday ahead of talks today, but threatened nine other strikes to keep up the pressure on management. The decision by Aslef, the train drivers' union, to call off the day-long strike next week will enable it to co-ordinate walkouts with the RMT transport union, which is expected to announce a vote for action today. Under the law, unions must give management seven days' notice of disruption.
Tony West, assistant general secretary of Aslef, yesterday announced walkouts on 18, 25 and 29 July; 7, 13, 23 and 27 August and 5 and 9 September. The action on 25 July would hit cricket fans travelling to the first day of England's first test against Pakistan.
