More Wisconsin companies offer domestic partner insurance
Published February 14, 2007 - BizTimes Daily
Fair Wisconsin has compiled a list of more than 130 Wisconsin employers that offer domestic partner health insurance.
Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle announced he will include a request for state employee domestic partner benefits in the state's 2007 budget.
The list of employers that provide such benefits is posted at www.fairwisconsin.com/news/dpupdate.html.
"Our report demonstrates that offering domestic partner benefits is a mainstream business practice," said Joshua Freker, Fair Wisconsin's interim executive director Joshua Freker. "Whether it's Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee, Edward Kraemer & Sons Inc. in Plain or Kimberly-Clark in Neenah, Wisconsin companies from diverse sectors understand there's nothing controversial about trying to attract and retain the most talented and innovative workforce."
Nationally, more than 9,000 employers and 265 of the Fortune 500 companies offer them, according to the organization.
