There are two reasons why the City of Stockton would not negotiate with the unions regarding the pensions. One is that the Unions are already in many of the politicians pockets so the politicians will not negotiate with those they are in bed with. The second is that the politicians that are not in bed with the Unions don't want their's or their family's lives threatened and their City Hall blown up in retaliation for asking the unionized workers to share in the pain of the depression they are in with those in the private sector. Either way, I'm sure that deep down Calper's recognizes that the Unions would not budge an inch in negotiations even if they were held.
