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.Sheffield council is set to make a further 1,120 employees redundant to balance its books in 1993-94. Voluntary redundancies are being sought before the end of next month in an attempt to bridge a spending gap next year of pounds 37m.
About 1,300 staff have already been shed under a voluntary early retirement scheme.
Nalgo, the local government workers' union, said all members were being balloted. It threatened industrial action if there were any compulsory redundancies.
