(USA) - New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine on Friday asked United Parcel Service of America to recognize the state's civil-union law and offer gay employees partner benefits similar to those given married workers. Gay activists are targeting the Atlanta-based shipping company, which has denied health benefits to legal partners of its gay workers despite the New Jersey law enacted in February that endeavored to give civil-union partners all marriage rights. "Surely, as a company with a long-standing commitment to its employees and the community, UPS would not want to make its employees and their families face these difficult choices based on the subtleties of the interaction of federal and state law," Corzine wrote in a letter dated Friday and released to reporters.
