Day 159 - 20 Jul 95 - Page 41
1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You do not have to embark on Mr. Giardina's
2 statement.
3
4 MR. MORRIS: I understand that.
5
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you think you can get something that helps
7 by all means do so, but there is absolutely no obligation
8 on you to embark on that at all, it is up to you, in
9 cross-examination of Mrs. Farrer.
10
11 MR. MORRIS: Do you make it a practice of checking the crew
12 notice board?
13 A. Yes, I do.
14
15 Q. What, every day?
16 A. No, not now because we used to have -- I used to have
17 my rules in the crew room and I do not now. I have them in
18 the office or downstairs, but I have read the notice board
19 upstairs, yes.
20
21 Q. Sorry?
22 A. I have read the notice board, you know, in the crew
23 room.
24
25 Q. Say, like, when Mr. Giardina was the Manager, around those
26 times in the mid to late 80s, would you have checked the
27 notice board every day or only on occasion?
28 A. On occasion I would, yes. I would not check it every
29 day.
30
31 Q. Presumably you would visit the crew room every day you were
32 working?
33 A. Not so much now, I do not go in there, well, just the
34 three out of four hours I do, but I do go up there quite
35 often, yes.
36
37 Q. Say again when Mr. Giardina was Manager, would you have
38 visited the crew room every day?
39 A. Near enough every day then I would have done, yes.
40
41 Q. Did you ever see union leaflets in the crew room?
42 A. No, I have never seen any leaflets in McDonald's at
43 all, never ever.
44
45 Q. Is that because the Managers would chuck them in the bin
46 every time they found any?
47 A. I cannot say.
48
49 Q. Is that the sort of thing ----
50 A. I think they may have asked who put them there, if they
51 ever was put there.
52
53 Q. Would Managers chuck them in the bin if they found some
54 union leaflets?
55 A. Well, if they did not probably find out who it belonged
56 to, yes, they probably would I would say. I do not know.
57 I do not know when.
58
59 Q. So they would not chuck people's personal property away
60 without finding out who it belonged to?
