It's not a responsibility of the government to cover underfunded retirement funds. The union members were paid a premium wage plus benefits in the form of pension fund contributions. It's the responsibility of the union and its members. Nobody outside that union business has any obligation to pony up money to make it solvent.

that is why it is so important who you elect in your state, especially the governor. Unions members must also realize it is their community also....never strike when it penalizes your children's education or hospitalization....a good retirement means saving for years.

“It’s not a responsibility of the government to cover underfunded retirement funds. “

Actually, I believe that there is a law that says it is, at least for unionized government workers at all levels. I think the same law says it can reorganize private unions’ retirement funds if they go belly up.

It is also not the responsibility of the government to pay for the murder of children in the womb, to pay for the "sex change" operations for homosexual perverts in prison, or to pay for the health care, rent, groceries, and prenatal care for Illegal Invaders who are not even citizens of this nation.

But it is happening.
