No one is saying they’re ‘morally superior’. Their job is to bargain for and protect their members.

Yes, seniority is a fact of life in almost all businesses and industries.

And there’s a blindingly obvious reason for it: the older you get, the harder it becomes for you to recover from a serious life incident such as a firing or a major illness/accident.

So most people (or at least, those who can think about the future beyond the next episode of Dancing on Ice) are quite happy to sign up for a system that gives them less initially in return for greater security later in life.

But of course this is evil and socialist and un-American.
