The shit is about to hit the fan for Pension Funds

That is great you can take a lump sum Ken. I was going to suggest it, but I have no idea how union pensions work.
Go out as a private contractor outside of union work if you can. Cash on the barrel head.

I can take My Annuity Lump sum, which is a nice chunk of change...

But not the pension. That I will have to collect monthly. If and for as long it is there to collect.

Well, at least you know that the possibility that it won't be there. Think of the millions that will get slapped in the face with reality of no pension or a really really smaller pension benefit.
