Show No Strings Solidarity
I’d implore every company in music (and beyond) to go out of their way to outline guidelines, policies and resources (i.e., paid leave, contribution to travel expenses) instead of putting employees in a position of having to ask. —Bronte Jane vp of A&R, Third Side Music As soon as the opinion was made official, we sent out a note affirming everyone’s right to control their own reproductive health, and restating that our offices are a safe space for all of our people. We wanted to take immediate steps, which is why we’re supporting the Center for Reproductive Rights and matching employee donations. We also expanded our health coverage so our employees and dependents can travel for medical procedures, and we made short-term disability immediately available. In addition, we’ll cover any legal expenses arising from any action taken against those who access covered medical procedures. We want our people to know that they’re supported and that their well-being is our priority.
