     1        no way a union can promise you anything and you will get it
     2        definitely.  That is the only thing he told me that I
     3        remember that made me change my mind right then and there
     4        totally against the union.
     5
     6   Q.   Because these things would have to be campaigned for and
     7        negotiated or -----
     8        A.  One, because we could lose everything we already had
     9        and I was happy with what we had.  I had no problem with
    10        it.
    11
    12   Q.   So Chris Broom told you you could lose everything that you
    13        had?
    14        A.  That was one, and everything would be negotiated.
    15
    16   Q.   How does Chris Broom know that you would lose everything
    17        you had?
    18        A.  I do not know how he knew.  I do not know.
    19
    20   Q.   So you believe what Chris Broom said, but you did not
    21        believe what Sarah had said; is that correct?
    22        A.  No.  That is true.  Chris and I have been friends for
    23        many years.  I have never had any lies from him, so I have
    24        more reason to believe him than I did Sarah.
    25
    26   Q.   What made you think that Chris Broom knew anything more
    27        about the situation than Sarah did who had obviously been
    28        involved with this issue of unions for quite a while?
    29        A.  Because of his father.
    30
    31   Q.   His father met Mr. Ballantyne, did he not?
    32        A.  I do not know.
    33
    34   Q.   You do not know.  On Friday, 1st October, what time did you
    35        meet with Chris and Sabina in McDonald's?
    36        A.  I do not know what time it was, it was -----
    37
    38   Q.   Was it morning, afternoon or evening?
    39        A.  It was night.
    40
    41   Q.   Night?
    42        A.  Yes, it was after school.  I do not know if I went home
    43        first or not.  I do not remember.
    44
    45   Q.   Right.  Were you scheduled at that time -----
    46        A.  To work -- I do not remember.
    47
    48   Q.   Was Chris Broom scheduled to work at that time?
    49        A.  I do not know.
    50 
    51   Q.   You do not remember if he was wearing his uniform, anything 
    52        like that? 
    53        A.  No, I do not.
    54
    55   Q.   Then you said:  "I spent most of Saturday, 2nd October, and
    56        Sunday, 3rd October, telephoning employees and speaking to
    57        them personally in the crew room".  Was that all of
    58        Saturday and Sunday?
    59        A.  No, not all of Saturday and Sunday.  I had to work on
    60        Sunday.  On Friday, I do not believe I had a shift on
