Answer:

Bush Nominee To Head Social Security Commission Accused Of Denying Time Warner
Workers Of Their Pensions
Appointed by Bush to head his new Social Security commission, AOL Chief
Operating Officer Robert Parson was President of Time Warner when it denied
thousands of its employees pension benefits. "The Labor Department filed suit
against Time Warner Inc. in 1998, alleging that the media giant had wrongly
classified hundreds of workers as temporary employees and independent
contractors to keep from paying them health and pension benefits...Two years
later, Time Warner settled the lawsuit, without admitting any wrongdoing, by
agreeing to pay $5.5 million to employees who had been denied health and pension
benefits because of their temporary or contractor classifications." Said Hans
Riemer, chairman of the 2030 Center, "If they had their way, they wouldn't have
let any of their employees get their pensions, leaving them to rely on Social
Security. And now they want to take that away as well, through privatization."
Bush pleads ignorance about the Time Warner suit, but what about his handlers?
