The importance of both sets of individuals are very important and vital,because the pensioners were once very active in service and had contributed imersely to production capacity,and the current employees as well are the ones doing the continuity of operations.It should be both of them, it would be a shame to not give the pension to the former employees who works hard for years and the government should interfere with private companies giving pension to ensure that they will really give it continuously. Employees should of course get paid and be given all the benefits they deserve.
