Those workers didn’t decide their own pay and benefits. And frankly they aren’t ridiculous. They are very reasonable and frankly a joke compared to the compensation of executives and bankers who bribe politicians to undermine and kill worker benefits.

Wealth inequality is certainly an issue, but it's not relevant to the issue being discussed. That there exists private sector executives whose salaries and benefits have more commas than most people can hope to make isn't relevant to pensions of an average worker.
