That is because only two states allow same sex marriage California and Mass. UPS did the right thing and recognized that some of our coworkers are in long term same sex relationships and offered benefits to ALL its employees.Due to anti-discrimination laws there is a clause for "signifigant others". Meaning same sex live-in partners. The conventional live-in relationship you may not obtain coverage for a live-in boyfriend/girlfriend.

what do they call it umm life partners? UPS bennies reconize same sex unions
I wonder if my wife is covered anymore since we have a No Sex relationship?
Yes my friend the RIGHT thing. Straight, gay ... it doesn't matter All employees deserve to have and enjoy all the benefits UPS has to offer...right...
I'm sure they didn't do it to avoid any future legal problems or anything, it was just the right thing to do
Yeah Red I was a recipient of some extra unexpected cash last year. I took it and spent it in NYCWell lets hope some of our california upsers see this thread and get with that attorney that got them 90 million for that lunch lawsuit.
Sounds like cali might have another court case coming. Every lawsuit against ups originates in that great state.

I will agree with you there Ryan!I'm not saying it wasn't the right thing to do ( i'm trying to keep my opinions to myself on these matters, but let's just say they differ slightly from yours) What I'm saying is that I highly doubt UPS did it out of the goodness of their heart because hey, it's the right thing to do.

Which is why same sex marriage should be legal.
Hell No!
Speed, my point is if same sex marriage is legal then there is a clear defined method as to who to extend benefits to. We all all UPSers here.Hell No!
Oh Yeah Local 70 I know Marty Frates pretty well. I believe it was Chuck Mack who originally brought up benefits for same sex couples.I talked with marty frates from your area for over an hour when he was in here, that gut is a hoot. I will be looking him up to share my prescription card when i visit cali, jk of course.
