Are pensions negotiated in the collective bargaining process? How do you feel about the pension issues?

I’ve been reading more about pensions lately, I might be hyper-focused on that issue.

I feel that pensions are something that have been used to the detriment of workers, since they were usually given in lieu of actual pay increases, and now are being used to tar and feather those who accepted them. So, I think unions going forward should concentrate more on real pay increases and less on pensions, because they’re just used to attack them.

Can I ask why you were under the impression that the bill was mainly about pensions?
