The executives are getting their perks probably because they are capable of taking the pressure, stress and making the decisions that are needed under those circumstances that ordinary workers may not be capable of.

while what you say about the executives may be true (though the main stress in a lot of executives lives is which golf course to play at during their three hour lunch break)
it is also true that the workers are (or were) getting the same perks due to their having to work in an extremly hazardous environment doing a highly technical job which the executives pronbably arent capable of.
If getting something for nothing is wrong , then it is wrong accross the board - it can't be wrong for the rank and file but okay for the fat cats at the top - and if it
is okay for them it should also be okay for the workers too.
Also this isnt about personal greed as the company isnt proposing to take the pensions away from existing workers - just to stop new workers from getting the same benefits - which the union says isnt fair.
