     1        A.  Not that I am aware of.
     2
     3   Q.   Do you have any concrete instructions from on high to make
     4        sure that unions do not get into the restaurants?
     5        A.  No.
     6
     7   Q.   Do you have any instructions what to do if the crew should
     8        say, or some of them should say, they want to be
     9        represented by a union?
    10        A.  No.
    11
    12   Q.   Has that ever happened?
    13        A.  Not in my experience.
    14
    15   Q.   Are you willing to offer a guess what you would do if it
    16        did happen?
    17        A.  If what happened exactly?
    18
    19   Q.   Put yourself in the place of a Manager.
    20        A.  Right.
    21
    22   Q.   Now you are a senior person?
    23        A.  Yes.
    24
    25   Q.   What do you think a Manager should do if it should happen
    26        that a number of the crew said to the Manager:  "We would
    27        like to be represented by a union"; what do you think the
    28        Manager should do?
    29        A.  I think they should take advice off Human Resources and
    30        find out how to deal with the situation.  Having never
    31        encountered that in any of the restaurants that I deal
    32        with, or as a Restaurant Manager, then it would be new
    33        territory.  Therefore, it would probably be a new
    34        experience and we would need to know how to deal with
    35        anybody who wanted to join a union.
    36
    37   Q.   Do you do any training yourself nowadays?
    38        A.  On odd occasions, yes.
    39
    40   Q.   Do you ever mention anything about unions when you are
    41        training people?
    42        A.  Certainly not.
    43
    44   Q.   Can I ask you about rap sessions?  You have been an Area
    45        Supervisor and you are now an Operations Manager?
    46        A.  Yes.
    47
    48   Q.   Had the rank of Senior Supervisor gone by the time you were
    49        promoted?
    50        A.  I think I actually was a Senior Supervisor for a couple 
    51        of months, but it was the same position as OPs Manager. 
    52 
    53   Q.   I was going to ask you, have you conducted any rap sessions
    54        yourself?
    55        A.  Have I ever conducted them?
    56
    57   Q.   Yes.
    58        A.  Yes, frequently.
    59
    60   Q.   Roughly, how many do you think?
