The Alphabet Workers Union, whose 900 members work at Google and its smaller sister companies, say the company should stop contributing money to lawmakers who supported the court’s ruling, and especially to those who have vowed to continue fighting against legalized abortion at the state level.
Last week Google told employees in an emailed statement that “we share concerns about the impact this ruling will have on people’s health, lives, and careers.” Google has contributed $16,000 to U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, a Mississippi Republican who has repeatedly called on the Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. Last week Wicker said in a statement that “This decision is an answered prayer, marking the beginning of the next chapter in our fight to protect the unborn.”
