Why does the RMT stage a strike whenever England have an important
match?!
The strike is on Tuesday 29th.
There are no Euro 2004 games on Tuesday 29th.

Rubbish!
The first semi final in Euro 2004 is on 30th June. If England beat
Portugal
they will be playing in it.
The strike starts at 6.30pm on 29/6/04, and finishes at 6.30pm on 30/6/04.
This means that any RMT member whose start of shift booking on time is
between these times does not turn up to work for their shift.
The upshot of this is that services should start to deteriorate on the
evening of 29/6/04. Then on 30/6/04 it will be chaos all day.
Some staff whose booking on time is after 6.30pm on 30/6/04 will have to
turn up to work during the match, but the vast majority who book on before
that time (for, say, an evening shift) will be off during the match and
all
evening.
30/6/04 is a write-off all day (unless NR management play a blinder). All
that the few staff turning up after 6.30pm will do is get a few trains in
the right place for the next morning. Bob Crow knows what he is doing.

Thank you Colin!
