I suspect that in reality it's a perk, and it would be the somewhat predictable response of a unionised industry to threaten strike action, rather than be grateful for what has been received over the last 15 - 20 years.
That's gratitude for you
A pension is deferred payment - it's part of the package that you accept in remuneration for the work you do; part of the contract of employment, it's not a perk. If a company wants to change the pension, they need to negaitiate with the workforce with whose remuneration package they are attempting to change. Talk of gratitude is like talking about a fish playing football, as stupid as it is irrelevant.
