ISS are over a barrel.
The company may wish to provide the service that they contracted to provide but need to make a profit.
Its workforce may be paid by the company but are not 'company men'. If ISS folded its tents and crept away the new company taking over would probably employ, and be required to employ, the majority of the existing workforce.
Inevitably the new contract price would be higher in expectation that the militant employees would continue to seek higher wages.
Therein lies the flaw in contractorisation.
