Day 193 - 28 Nov 95 - Page 39


     
     1        would that be the day of the crew meeting?
     2        A.  Yes.
     3
     4   Q.   So what would 58 minutes be?
     5        A.  I believe that you got paid for that crew meeting
     6        because you always got paid for going to crew meetings.
     7
     8   Q.   Would that have been how long you were at the crew meeting,
     9        58 minutes?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   Right.  So, in the first three weeks of October you worked
    13        a shift each Sunday for each week; is that what your
    14        recollection is?
    15        A.  Yes.
    16
    17   Q.   Yes.  Is that where you are saying you were missing out a
    18        shift?
    19        A.  In October are you talking about?
    20
    21   Q.   Yes.
    22        A.  I was missing, I believe, a Saturday shift.
    23
    24   Q.   Right.  In those weeks?
    25        A.  Yes.
    26
    27   Q.   Then the fourth week of October you worked a Saturday and a
    28        Sunday, four and a half hours and three and a half hours;
    29        is that correct?
    30        A.  Right.
    31
    32   Q.   That was after -- was that after when you said about the
    33        union complaining about it?
    34        A.  I believe so.
    35
    36   Q.   Right.
    37        A.  Actually, I do not think that the union would have
    38        complained until we were at the Labour Board hearings, but,
    39        I mean, I cannot tell you that for a fact; like, I cannot
    40        be exactly positive on which day the union complained,
    41        whether we were at the Labour Board or not.
    42
    43   Q.   Did you complain about it?
    44        A.  Yes, I told the union about it.
    45
    46   Q.   Right.  That is the end of that one.  You can put that
    47        away.
    48
    49        We have heard from a -- we have had a situation where there
    50        was a drive for union recognition in Ireland in 1979, and a 
    51        witness for McDonald's accepted the Labour Board's 
    52        recommendation that union members had a right to be 
    53        represented by a union, even if they were in a minority, in
    54        a workplace.  Do you have any comment about that?
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, that is not -- I am treating Miss Inglis
    57        as a witness of fact, not an expert witness.
    58
    59   MR. MORRIS:  (To the witness):  Do you believe that 20 per cent
