From, "11 Charged in L.I.R.R. Disability Fraud Plot," by William K. Rashbaum and Mosi Secret, New York Times 10/27/11:
"The Long Island Rail Road, unlike any other commuter railroad in the country, allows workers to collect an early pension, in some cases at age 50, which they can supplement with disability pensions from the federal railroad agency. The Times found that retired railroad employees who had successfully claimed disability were regularly playing golf at a state-owned course without charge — another perquisite of their disability."
Based on the headline and this paragraph, what do you think is the writer's bias?
Do not confuse perquisite with prerequisite
Perquisite means: perk
Prerequisite means: precondition
