Unions? Government employees? They aren't even on the top ten of 'most powerful organizations in the country.' Not for the past four decades - Ronald Reagan fixed that glitch.

What's going to happen is that paid shills will start publishing op-eds citing a handfull of executives and upper managers who gamed the pension payments system with overtime, resulting in massive payouts for themselves, drum up public outrage about lazy government workers, and pass an across-the-board haircut. It will, as always, be turned into a red vs blue issue - and half the time, red's in charge.

I don't believe they will ever touch federal government pensions. Municipal maybe, but not federal.
