Day 192 - 27 Nov 95 - Page 42
1 A. I believe so, yes.
2
3 Q. In the build-up to the vote?
4 A. Yes.
5
6 Q. Was this given to all the staff, or what?
7 A. It was -- we gave them out as many as we could. We put
8 them in the boys' and the girls' changing rooms, we put
9 them in the crew room, we posted them on the bulletin
10 board. So we tried to make it as public as possible, make
11 people know as much as possible.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: So, this was put on the bulletin board, as
14 well?
15 A. Yes. I think it was -- it used to be in different
16 coloured paper. That was put up there.
17
18 Q. Never mind. But there is no suggestion that you were not
19 allowed to put this up on the bulletin board?
20 A. In the vote contract, there was -- it was negotiated.
21
22 Q. Yes, I understand that. But you were, in fact, allowed to
23 do that?
24 A. Yes.
25
26 MR. MORRIS: It would have been illegal not to allow you to do
27 that; is that correct?
28 A. Through the vote, yes -- through the contract of a
29 vote, yes.
30
31 Q. Without having to go into details on this, do you feel it
32 is -- what is your view of this as a accurate or not
33 accurate portrayal of what the union was intending to
34 achieve?
35 A. I am sorry. I missed -----
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You are just being asked is this accurate,
38 the contents of this?
39 A. Yes.
40
41 MR. MORRIS: It summarises what the union actually did want to
42 achieve?
43 A. Yes.
44
45 Q. Thank you. I have finished with that. You mentioned the
46 pizza party where the intervenors' leaflet was handed out
47 and explained, and you counted it. Was there any other
48 aspect of the pizza party which you remember?
49 A. The pizza party was in Sabina's kitchen, and after that
50 we went up to her room -- I guess it would be -- and she
51 had a VCR set up with a television; and they showed a
52 video. They had -- obviously, a union supporter -- they
53 had a paper bag over their head, and it said "union" on it,
54 and it showed people beating it, like, kicking it around
55 and shoving it around. It was violence towards pro-union
56 people; that is what it was.
57
58 Q. Do you know who made this video?
59 A. Ralph Carina.
