It happens in the private sector all the time, whether right or wrong. Few offer pensions.

If the general public thinks that civil servants should have better benefits that can never be touched compared to the private sector business, they should have no problem paying extra taxes for that 'guarantee'. However, if Joe Blow tax payer does not want to pay for it, then it should be cut or law (in this case) repealed.
