FedEx Extends Domestic Partner Benefits

Shipping giant FedEx announced that it will begin offering health insurance benefits to employees' same-sex domestic partners, The [Memphis, Tenn.] Commercial Appeal reports.

The benefits will kick in for the Memphis-based company beginning January 1, 2011.

The move will most likely change FedEx's ranking on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index -- currently 70% out of a possible 100. Rival UPS, which has offered same-sex DP benefits since 2004, has a perfect 100% rating from HRC.
