     6        this whole union thing.

     8   Q.   You are trying to cover for Mr. Ballantyne, are you not?

    25        of the ballot asking if I could help with rides to the
    26        caboose where the vote was to take place."   When you say
    27        "participated", who else was involved in that?

    36        being dismissed?
    37        A.  I know she left.  I do not know why.

    40        A.  No.
    41
    42   Q.   Do you know about a woman that was sacked -- well, do you
    43        know about a woman being sacked for criticising one of the
    44        managers fairly soon after Mr. Ballantyne took over the
    45        store?
    46        A.  You mean fired?
    47
    48   Q.   Pardon?
    49        A.  You mean fired?
    50 
    51   Q.   Fired, sorry. 
    52        A.  I heard about it, but I do not know directly. 
    53
    54   Q.   What did you hear about, what did you hear?
    55        A.  The story I heard is that she was told to do something
    56        by the Manager and she called her a bitch and other names,
    57        and that Manager went to Cam and talked to -- and Cam
    58        talked to the employee about it and she denied it and that
    59        is why she was let go.
