Best Answer

They would no longer need to negotiate domestic partnership coverage for workers. Instead, same-sex spouses would automatically be included. Having one less item to demand in arbitration prevents the employer from using that item as leverage concerning another issue. This is especially true when a union must bargain with a church for workers at a hospital, school, etc.

Do you support civil unions?

This is a matter of opinion. My personal opinion is that same-sex marriage is preferable to civil union.
