Should public sector workers pay more for their pensions?

[Purple]

I haven't heard anyone 'giving out' about how hard civil servants have it — just correcting a few common misconceptions.

The first bit; yes.

Csirl,

....While this thread seems to be getting off the original topic, ...

Agreed, can we keep to the topic. "Should public sector workers pay more for their pensions".

Note that this thread has been moved to a new forum Public Sector Pensions.
Gereralised disussion concerning the public sector should be posted elsewhere.

In my opinion the answer to the question is No in the case of funded schemes which are adequately funded. And yes in the case of funded schemes which are not adequately funded.

The unfunded schemes in the civil and public service require increased contributions from employees.
