Following up on his appearance in the NY Times last week (blogged here), Norman Stein (Alabama) is quoted in today’s LA Times (Not a Future They Expected; As Companies Cut Back on Medical Benefits, Some Retirees Struggle to Pay for Care):

“Most company contracts have what we call ‘weasel’ clauses that protect them from any liability,” says Norman Stein, a law professor who specializes in employee benefits at the University of Alabama. Stein says studies show few employees ever read the clauses anyway, which are often in fine print and in language that isn’t always easy to understand.
