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.Employees of a high-end Paris hotel have launched a protest over pay – saying a single night in its most luxurious suite costs more than some of them are paid in a year.
Dozens of chambermaids and their supporters timed Tuesday's protest, outside the Park Hyatt Hotel-Vendome, to coincide with Paris Fashion Week, when Paris hosts many VIP guests. The workers had already started a strike on Friday.
The Park Hyatt said it regretted the situation but was "in no way involved" – saying the dispute involved a maintenance subcontractor and its employees.
