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.A planned 24-hour strike by hundreds of staff at 17 of the UK's biggest railway stations was called off today.
Members of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association and Rail Maritime and Transport union were due to walk out at noon tomorrow in a row with Network Rail (NR) over reorganisation plans.
The TSSA said it had reached agreement with NR on a no compulsory redundancy deal covering staff reorganisation at the stations, while talks will continue over pay and conditions.
Stations affected include Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and London's Kings Cross, Euston, Waterloo and Victoria.
