It is pretty clear that the unions are going to have to come to the table with concessions. Otherwise, it doesn't appear the money will be there in future years.

My fear is that the older employees will object to any type of deal, because many are close to getting out and collecting these same benefits.

The problem for the unions is that "right to work" is making its way through the courts, eventually to a conservative Supreme Court. Any ruling against the unions means there is precedent and could mean restricted benefits or worse.

I understand the frustration of employees who read this article and feel attacked, even though for many this is not a problem they created. The long term question is will there be a pension/benefits for employees in the future? Without major concessions i think its clear there won't be.
