BS - just sell the state store system, get out of the business. Cut the pensions to pennies on the promised dollar, like many of the steel companies did in the 80's , pay the thing down and get on with it. When will these dodo's wake up. The government has no business in business, period. This pension crap proves it.

When I was in the union, they had a saying," slow down or you'll work us out of a job"...

In the city they say,"stop or you'll work us out of a job"..lol...

Hell, yes, sell the state store system... they're an inefficient anachronism. Cut pensions, just because the steel companies were permitted to do so? No. The problem was not the pensions, but a lack of regulation to insist upon proper funding of them, and that's true of the public and private sectors. Your own example of the steel company pension cuts proves that fact. Capitalism is fundamentally amoral, and when it fails, people pay the price... unless government has properly fulfilled it's role to uphold social values.
