The problem is that workers were guaranteed a pension per contract. Regardless of the terms, the companies agreed to them and signed off. Now, decades later, their life mostly over, the workers are being told by the companies" we just cant afford this". This is no difference than Bernie Madoff or snake oil salesmen. If all the men who sat on the board of directors and the chief officers of those companies were hung, and their families deported to sub-saharan africa, perhaps the next group would be more thoughtful. I thought that the Chinese solution regarding the company that had the lead in the toys was very creative, they were marched outside and shot (as far as I heard).
If you are thinking that I will promise this now, and then in the interim figure out how to weasel out of it, this would tend to make you think some more. The way it works now, you can screw everyone, live high on the hog, and by the time fate catches up with you most of your life is over, the resources are gone and cannot be recovered, and someone else has to make up the difference or the little guy is just out of luck
Maybe some of you guys should just take home a tank, or a plane, or a ship- start your own charter service
