CHANGE IN WAL-MART POLICY TO INCLUDE SAME-SEX PARTNERS: From the Associated Press

The nation's largest employer is expanding the definition of "immediate family" in its ethics policy to include an employee's same-sex partner. ...

Company spokesman Gus Whitcomb on Thursday declined to say if the change would affect employee benefits, or whether it meant Wal-Mart was taking a position on the issue of same-sex marriage or civil unions. ...

The revisions deal with sections of the company's ethics code that bar employees from using confidential information to benefit themselves or immediate family members, and from approaching Wal-Mart's suppliers about jobs for immediate family members, the company said.
