>> ...interesting but rather outdated thoughts on what is public sector. Neither Postal Workers nor Train
>> Drivers, for instance, have been public sector for quite some time.

Technically correct but:

- the commonly expressed view during their strikes was that the GOVERNMENT should do something (money, negotiations etc). Implication is that they are subject to government control

- they both provide services which are generally regarded as critical to the public

As train drivers and postal workers seem to have done rather better than the strictly public sector employees, there could be an argument that workers get better pay awards in the private sector.

In truth it is difficult to separate government (strong) influence from these sort of enterprises. They do not operate as a free market due to regulation of pricing, service levels, etc.
