...i think you've managed to prove that historic comparisons of "Public" and "Private" sector pay and practice are fraught with difficulties (and can be bent to suit one's argument ;-) ).

Is the steel sector public or private? Likewise Academies running schools? The Highways Department of my local council is now a wholly-owned, spun-off subsidiary run as a commercial company (own company registration, own accounts, etc.) There are similar examples around the country. Is that public or private?

Take your choice, but they all set their own pay rates.

(BTW, I understand that one contributory factor to pay inflation on the railways since privatisation has been the practice of "poaching" staff such as drivers from a small pool by offering differential, higher wages than neighbouring operators - something that didn't happen (at least widely) in public ownership with nominally national pay scales).).
