the pension, are unsustainable so retention strategies shouldn't really be suicide pacts.
If the pensions were to be put on the table, I doubt that you would see an exodus of public sector workers.

Except you're not just competing with other public sectors, you have to consider the private sector right now. With the economic conditions what they are now, sure, you might not see a mass exodus, but if/when conditions turn around there will be. With pensions, someone with more than 10 years of public service has a pretty decent incentive to keep working in the public sector. You take away their pension and what's to keep them from jumping ship at the first good offer from the private sector?
