Day 192 - 27 Nov 95 - Page 61
1 got that page? It is a bit of a struggle, I know.
2 A. It is 94A?
3
4 Q. 94 is the tab number. Just look at the stamped page
5 numbers at the bottom of the page, and you will come to
6 1576. It is just over halfway through the file. Yes?
7 A. Yes.
8
9 Q. You see that it is dated 12th October?
10 A. Yes.
11
12 Q. Somebody has miswritten "1993". It says: "We wish to
13 withdraw our support for the Service Employees
14 International Union and we want to have our cards back."
15 You cannot read all the signatures, but on that page and
16 the next there are 39 names; yes?
17 A. Mmm.
18
19 Q. Were all those 39 people intimidated in the course of a
20 weekend into signing this petition ---
21 A. I do not know.
22
23 Q. -- Miss Inglis?
24 A. I do not know.
25
26 Q. What is your explanation? It is a bit extraordinary, is it
27 not?
28 A. Some of -- I imagine some of these people did not sign
29 union cards in the first place.
30
31 Q. Some of them -----
32 A. Some of them probably did not sign union cards in the
33 first place. You know, some people do not like unions,
34 which is fine.
35
36 Q. I am right, am I not, that by October 11th -- that is to
37 say, about nine days later -- 39 people or so had written
38 into the board, saying that for various reasons they had
39 been misled and harassed by you into signing cards which
40 they wanted back, had they not?
41 A. I think so.
42
43 Q. Yes. I am going to ask you something about the
44 circumstances in which you signed up some of these people.
45 I will leave Sabina Iurillo on one side for the moment.
46
47 Michelle Wetli, first of all; you signed her up, I think,
48 on Monday, 27th September, did you not?
49 A. I believe so.
50
51 Q. You called at her house, having telephoned in advance, just
52 before she was going to work?
53 A. I am not sure if I called that morning or the evening
54 before.
55
56 Q. Anyway, you came to the house at about nine o'clock or just
57 past 9 o'clock on that morning, did you not?
58 A. I believe it was before 9 o'clock.
59
60 Q. You knew that she had to be at work by 10 o'clock?
