TPG to reimburse employees for abortion-related travel expenses

·1 min read

NEW YORK, June 27 (Reuters) - Private equity firm TPG Inc said it will reimburse its employees for travel and lodging expenses for out-of-state abortion and reproduction care services, according to a memo to staff by Chief Executive Jon Winkelried. The memo, released late on Friday, came after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling overturning its landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that recognized a woman's constitutional right to an abortion and legalized the practice nationwide.

"We know that there may be people who are having a difficult time with this decision, and we want to make sure that you have access to resources that support you," Winkelried said.

In addition to the expanded employee health benefits, TPG will increase its donations to several non-profit organizations including UN Women's Fund for Gender Equality, The Center for Reproductive Rights and The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, Winkelried added.

TPG is headquartered in Texas, which is one of 13 states that adopted so-called trigger laws that ban or severely restrict abortions once the Roe v. Wade ruling is struck down. (Reporting by Chibuike Oguh in New York; Editing by Bill Berkrot)

  • "My body is 70% tattoos - I've lost work and get followed around shops by security"

    A woman whose body is 70 per cent covered by tattoos says she has lost work and gets followed round shops by security guards. Sarah Hutchinson, 29, known by fans as Joey, is an actress and says the ink art which covers 70% of her body means she gets typecast as a criminal or homeless person. Colleagues tell her the artwork - which covers her arms and legs - is intimidating and people assume she's "mean". Sarah, who starred in ITV's The Cabin, got her first tattoo - "4ever in my heart" on her wrist when she was 15 - and reckons she has spent around £7,000 on tattoos since. The personal trainer and musician says her hand tattoos of a star, a moon and the word 'why' are her biggest regret. She has an ex's name tattooed her wedding ring finger - but it's too painful to remove, and she says her girlfriend won't marry her while it's still there. Sarah reckons repairing or covering up "shoddy" work will cost her £1500 - and her top tips to others include never booking an artist who costs less than £350 a day. She also recommends waiting at least three months AFTER picking a design, before having it inked.

The Italian family-owned group said the 35% fall in Thom Browne's sales was driven by lower-than-expected revenues in the Greater China region and the streamlining of the company's overall wholesale business. Including the Tom Ford Fashion, which Ermenegildo Zegna bought last year, revenues in the January-March period totalled 463 million euros ($493 million).
