Day 193 - 28 Nov 95 - Page 30
1 A. Right, twice a year.
2
3 Q. 1st November 1993, when there was no rise in the minimum
4 wage?
5 A. There was not?
6
7 Q. Not till January. You got one then of 10 cents.
8 A. Yes. So that would have been because of McDonald's had
9 -- the McDonald's increase, it would have been a regular
10 pay increase, right?
11
12 Q. And you got another one on 1st May 1994.
13 A. Mmm.
14
15 Q. Another raise of 20 cents; is that right?
16 A. Of 20 cents? I do not know. I do not have my file in
17 front of me. I do not remember.
18
19 Q. Do you really say that McDonald's took it out on you after
20 the election?
21 A. What do you mean by "took it out"?
22
23 Q. Sorry. That means took revenge on you.
24 A. I mean, it was a different place to work, because
25 Donna Allen -- I do not know what type of assistant manager
26 she was, whether a first or second -- she had given me an
27 SOC (station observation checklist), and I believe it was
28 for counter -- saying that it was poor. But then, that
29 same day, that franchise was having like a promotion of
30 McBucks -- like, you do a good job, you get a McBuck -- and
31 I cannot even remember what you could buy for them or
32 whether you just put them in a ballot and if your name was
33 called then you won a prize or something. During the same
34 shift, I was given a poor SOC, and I was given a McBuck
35 from Pete Mortson. So, I mean, I did not understand where
36 they were coming from. One Manager on the exact same shift
37 thinks that I am doing a very poor job and the other one
38 thinks I am doing a marvellous job.

40 Q. I want you, please, to look at the -----

42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Shall we take the five-minute break there,
43 Mr. Rampton?
44
45 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, yes.
46
47 (Short Adjournment)
48
49 MR. RAMPTON: Just two final things, Miss Inglis. Can you find
50 the Our Times article, please, and turn to page 20,
51 underneath a picture of you and your family. Am I right --
52 again, this is not a criticism of him, or indeed you --
53 that your father is or was president of the Canadian Auto
54 Workers Local?
55 A. Yes, he is, but I also have a mother in management.
56 She is a manager that has to deal with a union. She is the
57 manager of Emergency in Orangeville Hospital.
58
59 Q. Yes. I am just wondering this, whether you got some of
60 your enthusiasm for unions from your family background?
