Salesforce’s Marc Benioff suggests relocating workers due to Texas abortion law

Billionaire Marc Benioff has said his company, Salesforce, will move all Texas employees who want to leave the state because of its draconian new abortion law. The offer came in a Slack message to workers and in a tweet from Benioff, who wrote, “Ohana, if you want to move, we’ll help you get out of Texas. Your choice. ”Salesforce has approximately 2,000 employees at its Dallas headquarters, out of 56,000 worldwide.

CNBC reports that the Slack post did not take a position on the law that bans abortions after six weeks gestation and allows citizens to sue those who help women end subsequent pregnancies. “These are incredibly personal issues that have a direct impact on many of us, especially women,” he said. “We recognize and respect that we all have deeply held and different perspectives. As a company, we’re with all of our women at Salesforce and everywhere.
