Pride @ Work

United Parcel Service can discriminate in New Jersey.

UPS contacted popular Miami Herald journalist and blogger Steve Rothause in response to the Pride @ Work press release posted on his blog the previous day.

UPS tried to explain its position in an email that seems to confuse rather than clarify. NJ.com does a better job explaining the "stymied" company.

UPS in New Jersey: Two men can't be "spouses". Labor group condemns denial of benefits to employees.

United Parcel Service (UPS) has denied health benefits to the families of two Teamster-represented drivers in New Jersey who happen to be gay. UPS claims that the drivers’ partners are not “spouses” under the state's civil union law.

Now Governor Corzine is involved. He wants UPS to offer gay employees the same benefits for their partners that married workers get.
