Letter: `Lads' of the TUC win fair deals for women at work
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: A "real job" is one that maintains the worker doing the job, his partner and all the kids they've produced between them. Five million women aren't "taking advantage of the flexible labour market". Diane Coyle and her middle-class mates might be, but the overwhelming majority of women working part-time are topping up the inadequate wages of the men in their lives.
The Labour Party is right: real jobs are breadwinner jobs.
