(Reuters) - Levi Strauss & Co said on Wednesday it will reimburse travel expenses for its full- and part-time employees who need to travel to another state for health care services, including abortions.
The apparel company best known for its jeans is the latest U.S. company to offer the benefit as various states clamp down on access to abortions.
And now, the U.S. Supreme Court looks set to vote to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide, according to a leaked initial draft majority opinion published by Politico on Monday.
"Given what is at stake, business leaders need to make their voices heard and act to protect the health and well-being of our employees. That means protecting reproductive rights," the company said in a statement.
Citigroup Inc became in March the first major U.S. bank to make a similar commitment.

Myself I like Carhart, at least they have the sense as far as I know, not to spout politics for people who sell clothing.
I get LL Bean jeans. More comfortable.
Haha so much for so called‘privacy’
Everyone at work will know ...
That tears it for me. I’m buying Wranglers.
I was informed of Levis leftist ways on this website 20 years ago. I had a few levis prior to that over the years but since then nada.
It’s actually been many years since I’ve bought a pair of Levi’s as well. Not really for political reasons, but economic ones. I’d also heard here on FR that they support leftist ideology, but I’m not a big fan of boycotts. But now that I know they’re willing to go so far as to drive their employees out of state to kill their babies, and are shouting it from the rooftops, I’m done forever. Who needs ‘em?

Nah, you just figure that killing your employees’ babies is cheaper than maternity leave.
It’s 26 years now, since obamacare.
