Senior Associates Cover "Workplace Protections For Employees Seeking Abortion Care" for Law360

                   

         

In the days and weeks following the Dobbs decision, several national employers ranging from Disney to Tesla have stepped up to offer travel benefits for their employees who must seek abortion care in another state.

While the moves are well meaning, intention does not always translate to practice. Nebulous questions still cloud the issue, not the least of which: “What if I don’t want to tell my employer I need abortion care?”

In an article published in Law360, Senior Associates Rosa Aliberti and Alex Berke dive into the question and explore the rights that employees already have, which they can leverage to assist in their effort to reach abortion care. You can read their piece, “Workplace Protections For Employees Seeking Abortion Care,” here.
