Yeah, this is an opinion I can respect. I think there are some other more creative options you could give public sector employees that would offset reducing their pensions as well. A lot of posters on here have talked about how if you invest properly you don't really need a pension, but investments can carry some higher risks for public servants, especially if they're investing in companies or stocks that could bring conflict of interest charges against them. Maybe there's a way to tweak the language in CBAs to reduce the risk/liability for those kinds of issues.
