Public sector workers used to make a clear argument for their pension. Yes, they had generous pensions, but in order to enjoy them, they had to put up with impossible hours and low pay. However, government figures reveal that neither of those things are true any more.

So now the private sector is working harder and for less pay than their public sector counterparts - should they still be paying for their generous pensions?
