3 Q. You said that Cam said in this meeting that on Monday there
4 had been this ---
5 A. Ansul.
6
7 Q. -- Ansul incident, then on Wednesday a robbery and then on
8 the next Monday he had been told of the attempt to unionise
9 and then he said it had been a long week for him. So he
10 was perturbed by this attempt to unionise?
11 A. What do you mean by "perturbed"?
12
13 Q. Worried?
14 A. I do not know if "worried" is a good word again. You
15 know, it was just something that does not normally happen.
16 Just like the Ansul system and the robbery, I mean, that
17 does not usually happen
18
19 Q. So he put it on a par with them, did he?
20 A. Pardon?
21
22 Q. He felt the same way about the union attempt to organise as
23 he did about the Ansul incident and the robbery?
24 A. He was just stating, you know, how his week was. He
25 was not -----
26
27 Q. It had been a bad week?
28 A. Well, it was a long week. There was a lot of things
29 that were going on. There were a lot of things that were
30 happening.
31
32 Q. That were going wrong?
33 A. That were going on.
34
35 Q. Yes, but I am saying he was saying there were a lot of
36 things that were going wrong; he was not happy about the
37 situation?
38 A. I do not know how he felt about the union itself.
39 I mean, I do not think he wants one at McDonald's himself,
40 I do not know. You would have to ask him that. But, you
41 know, as for a robbery, nobody wants that to happen; the
42 Ansul system, you have to shut the store down to clean the
43 mess up.
44
45 Q. You said that you were seeking promotion at the time. When
46 had you decided to seek promotion? I do not think it is in
47 your statement.
48 A. No, it is not. I am trying to figure out the year just
49 because -----
50
51 Q. It does not have to be an exact date but was it around that
52 time or a long time before?
53 A. No, I would say about six months to, well, six, well,
54 eight months to a year before.
55
56 Q. Right. Cam was explaining how the promotions would come
57 about and that he was intending to make promotions in the
58 spring. Had he explained about promotions before this?
59 A. Yes, yes.
