1 Q. What does it mean, the last two lines: "Dealt with
2 unfairly, crew at meetings"?
3 A. He just asked if anybody felt that they were dealt
4 unfairly with; and then "crew at meetings", I cannot
5 remember.
6
7 Q. Then, on the right-hand side of the page at the bottom,
8 there are some stars: "* talk to Cam;
9 * spring; * qualification; * management." What do those
10 mean?
11 A. These were just notes to myself that Cam said that if
12 we were looking to get promoted, we should, you know, at
13 least let him know that we wanted to, because he would not
14 be able to read our minds; and that he said that there was
15 probably going to be some promotions in the spring; and
16 I wanted to talk to him about the qualifications, like what
17 I needed, and management is the next up from crew trainer.

19 Q. Then in the bottom -----

21 MS. STEEL: Sorry, I am finding it quite hard to keep up. Can
22 you pause for a moment?
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just take a pause. Thank you. (Pause)
25
26 MR. RAMPTON: The bottom right-hand corner, we see "union" and
27 then "promotions" and, under that, "wage", and then some
28 arrows going off into the distance, as it were. Can you
29 tell us what that little bit means?
30 A. Well, it was a little bit of a doodle, but it is -- we
31 were talking to him and he said that, from what he
32 understood, unions promote by how long you have been there
33 and not by your qualifications, as McDonald's promotes with
34 not about how long you have been there, but how good you
35 are.
36
37 Q. Then, finally, two things. There is some stuff on the top
38 right-hand corner which is -- is it X43 that it says?
39 A. I am not sure what that is.
40
41 Q. Then there are some words I cannot read about something --
42 4D, is it? Do you know what that is?
43 A. I cannot remember what any of that scribble is, I am
44 sorry.
45
46 Q. It looks as though you have written -- would it be "Rob"
47 and "Matt", maybe?
48 A. I think that may be Marty, but I am not sure.
49
50 Q. OK. Forget that. On the left-hand side, opposite the
51 names at the top, you put a star and the words "wrote
52 one". What does that mean?
53 A. It was, afterwards, I still have this paper, and while
54 Michelle and I, when we started getting together to write
55 those letters and particulars, just "wrote one" was the
56 people with the stars had written a letter; and coming to
57 the -- there was, you know, just by going around round
58 school and things, we had asked if anybody was coming
59 today, so -----
