1 Saturday, I was there most of the morning up until probably
2 1.00 or 2.00 in the afternoon.
3
4 Q. At the store?
5 A. Yes.
6
7 Q. Right. After learning from Chris Broom the evening before,
8 you specially came into work at McDonald's the next morning
9 on the basis of what his father had told him who,
10 presumably, you had never even met?
11 A. I have met his father.
12
13 Q. Had you met him at that time?
14 A. I have met his father before, yes.
15
16 Q. You rushed into the store the next morning and you began to
17 telephone all the employees you could get hold of, yes?
18 A. No, I did not go in until Sabina called me that morning
19 to let me know what Chris's father had suggested us do,
20 which was the petition. When she called me, that is when
21 I came in.
22
23 Q. So Sabina asked you to come into the store?
24 A. I told her, I said to her: "Whatever Chris tells you,
25 give me a call and I will come in and help you however
26 I can".
27
28 Q. Right. You came into the store to make the telephone calls
29 and to speak to the crew in the crew room; is that correct?
30 A. Yes.
31
32 Q. Did you speak to the staff in other areas as well like in
33 the lobby while they were working?
34 A. I did not talk to anybody while they were working. It
35 was either when they were on break, before or after their
36 shifts.
37
38 Q. Do you remember seeing a Crew Handbook?
39 A. Yes.
40
41 Q. You have read the Crew Handbook?
42 A. I got one when I first got my job seven years ago.
43
44 Q. Do you sometimes look at it to see ---
45 A. Not any more I do not.
46
47 Q. -- particular things?
48 A. No.
49
50 Q. Is there a rule about staff -- we have seen other
51 handbooks; there is a rule about staff not coming into the
52 store in working areas, which would include the crew room
53 -- on the premises then -- 30 minutes before their
54 scheduled time or after 30 minutes that they are scheduled
55 to leave, does that kind of provision generally apply?
56 A. I do not know if there is a rule about a time limit
57 before or after your shift, I do not know.
58
59 Q. Did you get permission to come in to speak to crew members
60 on the premises?
