Exup, California state emploiyees don't pay into SS.
I didn't know that. I just knew Federal employees didn't pay into it because my dad was a Federal employee and he didn't pay into SS while he worked for them.
I don't agree with doing it in the private sector either, but generally, a large part of my taxes aren't going to private sector companies. A pension is for retirement. Retired means that you are not working for that employer. I believe it is stealing when a retired person double dips with the same employer.
And, it's fine you don't agree with doing it. However, that's what a pension is: A benefit received after working X number of years, then leaving your post. It's not "stealing". I suggest you look up the definition of "Stealing".

I would agree with working X number of years and then leaving your employer, not post. The double dippers that people are concerned about are the high paid upper management types who have had several "posts" over the years. The post "retirement" post is just another job in the line of jobs they have already had in the past. But this time they are getting two paychecks.

Again, while you might not agree with it, it's what a pension is. And, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean we change the definitions of words.
Another point. I'm not sure about NY but if you are a pensioner in CA, you are only allowed to work 940 hours per year. Any more than that they make you start paying into the pension fund again. In my case, I am retiring to NY with my CA state pension and plan to keep working in the same field.
