Letter: More equal than men
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.Sir: I am bewildered by the Court of Appeal ruling (report, 22 May) on the case of the Tube train driver who claimed sex discrimination on the grounds that a change in her shift pattern had made it impossible for her to work and also look after her child.
It seems that men and women must continue to be treated equally by employers except where this would be to the disadvantage of women because of any private and personal commitment they might have. I am glad that I am not an employer.
