I think the running out of funds may affect a lot of people.

I think some unions made some bad investment decisions.

Actually before I retired the pension fund was turned over to a pension management co. They're the ones that screwed up.

It has happened here as well. One made some pretty bad decisions. I will have this union pension, a pension from when I was staff in Alberta. I have some control over that one. A small union one from Alberta as well, plus whatever I get from the government.
