Memphis-based shipping giant FedEx has gradually improved its LGBT-friendly status over the years, most recently by announcing a savings program for National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) constituents.
The FedEx Advantage Savings Program offers up to 26 percent off on FedEx shipping rates for the NGLCC's affiliate members and certified suppliers. The NGLCC represents around 1.4 million LGBT businesses and entrepreneurs in the U.S.
Also, FedEx began offering same-sex domestic partner health benefits to its 225,000-plus U.S. employees in January.
