Letter: How worker participation would benefit the bosses
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.WHEN CONSIDERING the movement of jobs within Europe, Neal Ascherson accuses employers of playing off workforces in different countries against each other. However, he ignores the fact that the real competition is with the workforces outside Europe, where labour costs are much lower. We will not be thanked by our employees for levelling up the playing field in Europe if the match has been moved to the Far East.
