    That’s one of the risks of not being unionized. My employer can’t touch my pension (not that they would want to since they all came up from the union rank and file too) because it’s all managed through our union contract and there’s no chance in hell that we ever approve a contract that gives them that kind of control.

      Even that isn’t complete protection. The government can always change the rules as they go. Not to mention a complete breakdown of society wouldn’t exactly do wonders for pensions and 401k’s either.

        It’s a good thing that Biden’s NLRB is the most pro-union in living memory then, isn’t it?

        Edit; also, contracts are binding. If and when we enter a world in which union contracts are tossed out by authoritarian fiat, we’re in much bigger trouble than simple anti-uion policies.
