If they weren't able to strike no one would take any notice of them. Bear in mind that their employer is a monopoly and doesn't need to nor does follow any sense of a market economy. They can't take their skills elsewhere. They can only strike. And as for the timing, being paid insufficiently is as bad in a recession as in a boom. Tube prices have not been frozen because of the economic position.
