WUSA9 sat down with an employment law attorney to learn what you should know before discussing any sensitive medical information with your employer.
WASHINGTON — After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling last month, reactions poured out across social media from locals to celebrities and even corporate CEOs. Company big-wigs shared their takes on the decision; or, at least, their policies.
Many came out to affirm that they plan to continue supporting their employees in their reproductive care by reimbursing all travel expenses related to seeking an abortion.
President and CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Lauren Hobart, posted the announcement to her LinkedIn page. "We recognize people feel passionately about this topic – and that there are teammates and athletes who will not agree with this decision,” she said.
“However, we also recognize that decisions involving health and families are deeply personal and made with thoughtful consideration. We are making this decision so our teammates can access the same health care options, regardless of where they live and choose what is best for them.”
Even before the decision became official, companies like Starbucks, Tesla and Amazon vowed to support certain employees living in states with laws meant to restrict abortions. Tegna, the media company that owns WUSA9 and stations across the country, has also announced that plans are in the works to support employees who may need to travel for the procedure.
