There are unionized private sector jobs that are almost as well protected as public sector jobs. I'm not saying that the public sector is going to become a ghost town, but you're going to see higher turnover levels and more instability in the public service if you take away pensions and don't offer a total compensation package that matches what someone can get in the private sector.
