Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

70,000+ U.K. University Staff Walk Out; British Nurses Prepare for Historic Strike

HeadlineNov 28, 2022

In the U.K., over 70,000 university employees went on strike Thursday and Friday over salary, pensions and working conditions. Another strike is planned for Wednesday. It’s thought to be the largest-ever strike affecting higher education in the U.K.

Meanwhile, nurses with Britain’s National Health Service are planning to strike for two days in December — the nurses’ union’s first strike in its 106-year history. Nurses say the government’s refusal to provide adequate pay raises means many are not able to make ends meet or are forced to quit their jobs.
