"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."
"More than 1 billion has been secured by women workers this year following successful equal pay campaigns spearheaded by a prominent trade union. The GMB union revealed that hundreds of thousands of women employed in council roles such as care, cleaning, and catering have historically faced lower grading or inferior terms and conditions compared to male-dominated positions such as refuse collection, despite the jobs being of equal value. These payments represent money owed to thousands of individuals who were underpaid for years when compared with their male counterparts."
The Independent relies on donations and avoids paywalls to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. More than £1 billion has been secured for women workers following successful equal pay campaigns led by the GMB union. Hundreds of thousands of women in council roles such as care, cleaning and catering faced lower grading or inferior terms compared with male-dominated roles despite equivalent job value. Payments compensate thousands who were underpaid, while roughly 40,000 outstanding claims across 28 local authorities could total hundreds of millions of pounds and about 10,000 new claims are expected this year.
