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.Claiming the National Basketball Association's use of locker room cameras is an illegal change in working conditions, the league's players filed an unfair labour practice charge with the National Labour Relations Board.
The union also wants to stop the NBA from using boom microphones in team huddles during timeouts.
"The NBA cannot impose these changes without the union's consent," union lawyer Robert Lanza said Monday. "While players certainly want to enhance the game experience for every fan, these types of changes can only be brought about through collective bargaining. We must have a meaningful dialogue in order to strike the appropriate balance between access and intrusion."
NBA coaches earlier complained about the league's attempt to put mikes on them during some national broadcasts. The boom mikes during huddles were part of a compromise with the coaches.
