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.Leaders of 9,000 British Airways cabin crew were last night considering proposals from the airline aimed at averting a three-day strike beginning next Wednesday. While stewards and stewardesses were protesting over the imposition of a new pay structure, talks continued between the airline and representatives of 9,000 ground staff who are threatening industrial action in a separate dispute over the sell-off of the catering division.
Meanwhile, Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic yesterday unveiled the airline's new logo (pictured) - the Union Flag which BA dropped from the tailplanes of its aircraft last month. The new logo, which will appear at the front of Virgin aircraft, was unveiled on a Boeing 747 at Heathrow airport.
