1 Q. Were you responsible for inviting people to the meeting?
2 A. No, I was not.
3
4 Q. Were you encouraging people to go to the meeting?
5 A. No, I did not. No, I was not. All I did was ask them
6 if they were going.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: The people that you said "coming today" are all in
9 one block, are they not, on that list?
10 A. I am sorry, what do you mean by that, they are all in
11 one block?
12
13 Q. The ticks on the right-hand side ---
14 A. Yes.
15
16 Q. -- that means that they are coming today?
17 A. No. I do not know what those ticks are there for.
18
19 Q. You do not know what those ticks are?
20 A. No. I am sorry, I do not know. I do not remember.
21
22 Q. Are they all the pro-union people?
23 A. I do not know. I cannot remember. Bonnie -- well, no
24 I do not think so.
25
26 Q. I am sorry. I mean are they all the anti-union people?
27 A. I do not -- I do not think they were all anti-union
28 people.
29
30 Q. Was there anyone in that list who was not one of the
31 anti-union people?
32 A. Well, I do not know if all these people wrote letters,
33 or signed the petition. I do not know. Like, I do not
34 know who voted what on that February day.
35
36 Q. You helped the Manager organise this meeting as an
37 anti-union meeting, did you not?
38 A. No, I did not. This meeting was planned way before.
39 Cam had -- like, I told Cam on Monday about the
40 unionisation attempt, and I believe this meeting was on
41 Tuesday. I knew -- like, I never helped organise anything
42 for this meeting.
43
44 Q. Expect that you asked people if they were coming ---
45 A. In school -----
46
47 Q. -- made notes to see if they had come, after they had said
48 they were coming; took the minutes of the meeting on behalf
49 of the Manager?
50 A. At school, if I saw someone I knew and I was friends
51 with them, I asked if they were going to the meeting; that
52 was it. I did not go round school asking everyone; it was
53 just my friends. Taking the notes, that was just pure
54 coincidence, because I take notes for myself. I am sure if
55 someone else had paper and pen in their hand and it was not
56 me, he would have asked -- and I did not -- he would have
57 asked them to take notes. It was just pure coincidence.
58
59 Q. You were thinking, during this meeting, "I deserve a
60 promotion...."
