The National Association of Manufacturers has put Social Security on its radar screen and intends to ask the newly re-elected president to appoint a bipartisan task force to examine ways to change the ailing system, said Warren L. Batts, the association's president and chief executive of Tupperware Corp.
The association supports giving workers the choice of directing their Social Security taxes into an array of mutual funds, and its board recently passed a resolution supporting such proposals.
