3 Sometimes if there was a holiday he would work in the

6 Q. But your impression was basically that he was not working
7 at McDonald's any longer after that incident?
8 A. Well, no, I cannot tell you. He may have done, you
9 know.
10
11 Q. But you never saw him again?
12 A. I never asked. No, I never saw him and I never asked.
13 He may have done, he may have worked for quite a long time
14 and I may not have seen him.
15
16 Q. So he had refused to do some work because he did not think
17 he was getting paid enough to do it?
18 A. Yes, he said, "I am not cleaner". He said do I think
19 it is right why he did not get paid the cleaning job, you
20 know. He said, "I could go out in the morning and get paid
21 œ5 an hour." I said to him, "Why don't you go and do it
22 then?" I said: "When you first started here you knew what
23 you was taking on; you were told what you are taking on.

46 that, "People insisted" -- this is a direct quote -- "that
47 management were not to know that this had been done." That
48 is what was told to him. That was on page 3 for the other
49 people's reference. Then he said about the five-star
50 people on page 9: "I made sure that I did not approach
51 these people when I was trying to recruit for the union."
52 If that is true, would you know why?
53 A. No, I have no idea. I know nothing about it. I know
