It should be up to the worker in question whether they'd like to or not.
@52P5M5S4yrs4Y
I think it should the be workers choice but give incentives for private accounts and insure that the worker will not lose any money if they choose to privatizetheir pension plan.
@8GPQNKC4yrs4Y
That should be up to the government worker

No, but I think it should be the workers' choice, therefore give incentives for private accounts and insure that the worker will not lose any money if they chooses to privatize their pension plan
@975GXH82yrs2Y
If the government worker wants the plan to be transitioned to a private account that should be allowed.
@8D7J9N34yrs4Y
Yes, subject to the worker's discretion
