Boeing: Don't discriminate against gay and lesbian employees

Don't discriminate against LGBT employees by refusing the spousal survivor pension benefits straight employees get.

Why is this important?

Washington-based Boeing recently announced that it would deny same-sex couples the spousal survivor pension benefits that straight couples are entitled to -- even to same-sex couples legally married under Washington's new law.

Boeing made $4 billion in profits last year. They can afford equality.

All workers and their families deserve to be treated fairly. Boeing must provide the same spousal benefits to the families of all lawfully married employees.
