Public sector contractors are private companies working on publicly funded jobs - they don't have the same hold beacuse the IT industry is much larger than the public sector. Tube drivers though can't just be replaced at the drop of a hat like IT workers - because there are no other tube drivers.
I.e. the forces that limit the market for public services also limit the market for the labour to fulfil those services.
I think it's appalling - if you don't like you job then find another. Don't hold your patrons to ransom, risking their health in the process.
