Salesforce will help workers worried about abortion access migration

Salesforce does one of the biggest moves in the tech industry in light of Friday a very restrictive law on abortion in Texas. In a message to Slack employees, the company said it will help them and their immediate families relocate if they are concerned about access to reproductive health care in their condition.

Although the message, which was obtained by CNBC, did not seem to distinguish Texas, later continued Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. Twitter to say explicitly that the company would help all employees leave the state. Nonetheless, CNBC reported that Salesforce did not take a stand on the law in its Slack post, stressing that it respects different points of view but is also supportive of women.

“These are incredibly personal issues that directly impact a lot of us, especially women,” Salesforce said. “The company has not taken a position on the law. “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.

Salesforce has offices in Dallas, according to its Company Website. A CNBC analysis of LinkedIn profiles found that approximately 2,000 people work for the company in Dallas.

Tech companies have come under close scrutiny in recent weeks for their silence on Texas’ abortion law. The law prohibits abortions after six weeks, a time when most women do not even realize they are pregnant, and allows individuals to sue anyone which helps women to have an abortion after the authorized period.

A small number of tech companies have spoken out or taken action, while others have had their opinions exposed by Texas politicians.

Uber and Lyft announcement they would cover all legal fees for drivers sued for taking women for abortions. Bumble said he is setting up a relief fund to finance supporting organizations women’s reproductive rights in the state. Meanwhile, Shar Dubey, CEO of Match Group, owner of Tinder and Hinge, said she was personally create a fund it would help Match employees in Texas get abortions elsewhere.

GoDaddy, for its part, started a site of its servers that aim to help Texas anonymously report people who have an abortion after six weeks or anyone who assists them.

Then you have Elon musk, who runs Tesla and SpaceX. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in an interview that Musk liked the state’s social policies, which the CEO has neither confirmed nor denied.

“In general, I think the government should rarely impose its will on the people and in doing so should aspire to maximize their cumulative happiness,” Musk tweeted. “Having said that, I would rather stay out of politics.”
