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.A dispute over disciplinary action against two workers on the Heathrow Express has been resolved, ending the threat of fresh strikes.
Members of the Rail Maritime and Transport union had taken strike action and were planning further stoppages, threatening disruption to rail services between Heathrow Airport and central London.
In a joint statement, the union and the company said the row over the dismissal of a worker and suspension from duty of another RMT member had been resolved.
"The full withdrawal of this industrial action follows from constructive discussions between the parties facilitated by Acas and these matters have been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties," said the statement.
