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.The state-owned company which runs Spain's airports has reached a preliminary agreement with unions that have called 22 days of strikes during peak holiday seasons in protest at plans to privatise half the firm.
The pact would guarantee workers' jobs and current working conditions once the government proceeds with plans to privatise part of AENA.
The agreement reached early today after a marathon negotiating session still needs to be approved by rank-and-file union members who called the strikes last week.
Unions feared wage and other benefit cuts once private investors take a stake in AENA.
The unions planned a series of rolling strikes starting on April 20, and including Easter Sunday, and then on other days in the summer.
