“Government worker salaries and pensions are posted for the public to see. If there is no public revenues to support lucrative pensions and salaries, public workers need to accept this economic reality and changes”
The ‘solution’ seems to be to cut off the young folks from the pensions.
Thanks folks for helping us out when we need to get a solid start in life. :)
Cuts for thee, but not for me.
That is a trade off gov workers need to make. Do you all share the cuts, or do you preserve your salaries and benefits and fire all the young workers thru reduction in force (seniority system). Europe is more austere. At least in the US gov retiree still keep their pension amounts while new workers will have to accept new lower benefits. In Europe the budget shortfalls are so great, retirees have their pension checks cut in half. Be grateful that in the US gov workers have not faced this yet. If the economy does not pick up and pension fund shortfalls grows, prospect of retirees as well as workers take a hit at the same time may become a reality.

You’re complaining about someone getting the retirement that they paid into and earned, yet you are asking for a handout from the other side of your mouth.
Just escaped from your OWNS tent??
