this is happening because people are gaming the system.

for some unknown reason you can get retirement pensions for working as little as 10-15 years as a public service employee.

So what people are doing is working the minimum ... then moving on to another government job and doing the same thing. Before long they are collecting 3 or more pensions and are only in their 50’s.

THEN on top of that, they are maximizing how much each of those pays them by working massive overtime in their final year of work before retiring, effective doubling or tripling their salaries when they were actually working.

First of all I think all pensions should be eliminated.. BUT if you just must have them, then you should only qualify for one after working someplace like 30+ years and you should only be allowed to collect ONE.

They should also pay back social security like all us private sector commoners had to.
