The only time I had that reduction was when I worked at a grocery store as a young chap and that grocery store employees' union had a pension plan.

My personal situation leaves myself and spouse in the un-enviable position of earning as much or more once we retire as we currently do. Since we do not forsee a reduction in our tax brackets, and my wife may see her income actually incerase once she retires, we are now choosing to invest in non-registered instruments, having accumulated as much as we want in our Registered Plans.
