One of the things I find unacceptable about some of the issues raised by this pensions issue are some of the middle ranking supervisors/managers telling the workers how essential these changes are, however they personally are old enough to know that they are not going to be affected by the issues as they will have retired with their benefits intact. I am realistic enough to accept that this is part of their job, but to stand in front of their "colleagues" and mouth the managements platitudes without embarrassment is beyond the pale. Have they no sense of shame?
