     1        attend the meetings always got paid.

     3   Q.   You said that Cam said in this meeting that on Monday there
     4        had been this ---
     5        A.  Ansul.
     6
     7   Q.   -- Ansul incident, then on Wednesday a robbery and then on
     8        the next Monday he had been told of the attempt to unionise
     9        and then he said it had been a long week for him.  So he
    10        was perturbed by this attempt to unionise?
    11        A.  What do you mean by "perturbed"?
    12
    13   Q.   Worried?
    14        A.  I do not know if "worried" is a good word again.  You
    15        know, it was just something that does not normally happen.
    16        Just like the Ansul system and the robbery, I mean, that
    17        does not usually happen
    18
    19   Q.   So he put it on a par with them, did he?
    20        A.  Pardon?
    21
    22   Q.   He felt the same way about the union attempt to organise as
    23        he did about the Ansul incident and the robbery?
    24        A.  He was just stating, you know, how his week was.  He
    25        was not -----
    26
    27   Q.   It had been a bad week?
    28        A.  Well, it was a long week.  There was a lot of things
    29        that were going on.  There were a lot of things that were
    30        happening.
    31
    32   Q.   That were going wrong?
    33        A.  That were going on.
    34
    35   Q.   Yes, but I am saying he was saying there were a lot of
    36        things that were going wrong; he was not happy about the
    37        situation?
    38        A.  I do not know how he felt about the union itself.
    39        I mean, I do not think he wants one at McDonald's himself,
    40        I do not know.  You would have to ask him that.  But, you
    41        know, as for a robbery, nobody wants that to happen; the
    42        Ansul system, you have to shut the store down to clean the
    43        mess up.
    44
    45   Q.   You said that you were seeking promotion at the time.  When
    46        had you decided to seek promotion?  I do not think it is in
    47        your statement.
    48        A.  No, it is not.  I am trying to figure out the year just
    49        because -----
    50 
    51   Q.   It does not have to be an exact date but was it around that 
    52        time or a long time before? 
    53        A.  No, I would say about six months to, well, six, well,
    54        eight months to a year before.
    55
    56   Q.   Right.  Cam was explaining how the promotions would come
    57        about and that he was intending to make promotions in the
    58        spring.  Had he explained about promotions before this?
    59        A.  Yes, yes.
