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.British Airways cabin crew have launched a new five-day strike in a dispute over pay and working conditions.
BA says flights to and from Heathrow, one of Europe's busiest hubs, will be affected by the walkout. But the carrier says it can operate more than half of its services because more cabin crew than expected had decided to cross the picket line.
It says all flights will operate at the smaller Gatwick and London City airports.
Cabin crew walked off their jobs on May 24 and launched another strike Sunday after talks failed. They plan to strike for another five days from June 5, if a solution to the long-running dispute is not found.
Seven days of walkouts in March over the same dispute cost BA around 43 million pounds ($63 million).
