At the end of the day, you're worth whatever someones willing to pay you for your services.
Sorry Pierre but that's ridiculous, it's not even close to being the free market at work. In a free market these guys would've been fired and replaced by cheaper staff, of which there's no shortage who'd do the job for less.

As it is it's a pretty much closed shop, they've their nice benefits packages, cannot be made compulsorily redundant, in short all the most market distorting aspects of public sector employment.
