Eh? They already have. And striking wasn't an option for most of them. Most private sector pension schemes have either closed or seen their value massively decreased, concurrent with average pay little more than frozen (this is to say, real-terms pay cuts). Meanwhile, the public sector has continued to benefit from pre-agreed pay rises and protected pensions.

It wasn't caused by airline and airport employees or 99 per cent of their customers either, but why should they be made to suffer?
