The travel fee for reimbursement to the legal abortion state, a number of US companies send "benefits" for the abortion of employees

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] American women's abortion rights have always been the focus of social controversy. Since May of this year, conservative judges have accounted for the majority of the US Supreme Courts to overthrow the news that previously reported the judgment of women's abortion. According to Reuters on the 25th, well -known American companies, including JP Morgan Chase and Amazon, have claimed to provide company welfare support for employees who need abortion. The details of the welfare policies of each company are different. Taking Morgan Chase and Citibank, the two major financial institutions, are used as an example. For employees who want to abortion, the company will bear the travel costs of the employee to the state that allows legal abortion. Celest's CEO Frester recently made it clear: "The company has provided reproductive health benefits in the past 20 years, and we insist that employees can obtain the same benefits where they are in the United States."

In addition to abortion, the cost of other medical services related to travel is also expected to be borne by the company. Taking Goldman Sachs, a well -known investment bank, it is announced that it will bear the relevant travel expenses of employees to other states from July 1 to other states. Some companies express the content of receiving medical services more broadly, such as Yuan Cosmic Company (Facebook) claiming that they will bear the travel expenses of medical and reproductive health services in other states, while Amazon announced that they will bear the employee to go Other states accept travel expenses that do not involve life -related medical services, including abortion. Some companies have expanded the scope of people who can enjoy benefits. For example, the travel expense benefits of the Yelp website of the US review website are covered by the employees and their families supported, while Levis's benefits include the company's full -time and part -time staff.

In addition, companies have limited the travel distance when they announce the travel expenses of abortion employees. For example, Starbucks announced that employees and their families will be reimbursed for abortion 100 miles (about 161 kilometers) away from home. The online car company LYFT is more generous. The company claims that its medical insurance benefits for employees have an abortion, and at the same time, employees who need to abandon their abortion for institutions that need to leave home 100 miles will be reimbursed. Some companies also take into account the relevant legal risks that employees may involve. The two online car giants, Uber and Lyft, have set up legal defense funds to provide litigation funding for those who have been punished by passengers for abortion. (Zhen Xiang)
