1
2 Q. Did you recruit Jay Petrie?
3 A. Yes, I believe I did.
4
5 Q. Did you tell him that he would be guaranteed job security
6 unless he was caught stealing?
7 A. I do not know if it came up that way. We probably had
8 a conversation about what exactly job security was, you
9 know, that a manager cannot fire you for an unjust cause,
10 but say if you go and rip the store off, taking boxes of
11 meat (which happened at our store), if they found you doing
12 that, the union would probably try and maybe not have you
13 fired as such, but be disciplined or whatever to a lesser
14 extent. But, I mean, the union cannot protect you from
15 breaking the law.
16
17 Q. Do you remember recruiting a girl called Athina Papas?
18 A. Yes, I did. I recruited her with Joel Beatson,
19 I believe.
20
21 Q. Yes -- in a car, or at a place called Beckers in
22 Grand Valley; is that right?
23 A. Yes.
24
25 Q. With Joel Beatson?
26 A. Yes.
27
28 Q. Otherwise Henderson?
29 A. Right.
30
31 Q. Which do you prefer that we call him, Beatson or Henderson?
32 A. Henderson is his name now.
33
34 Q. Henderson. Do you remember telling her that you were
35 organising the union as a way of getting back at
36 Rob Pinkney for what he had said to you?
37 A. No.
38
39 Q. You did not say that?
40 A. No.
41
42 Q. Do you remember saying -- you do not, then, remember saying
43 something similar to Linda Coat?
44 A. No.
45
46 Q. As to that incident, in fact, you got an apology, did you
47 not? You got an apology after you complained to Cam about
48 that incident, did you not?
49 A. From?
50
51 Q. From Rob.
52 A. An apology?
53
54 Q. Yes.
55 A. No. I would not call it an apology if someone yanks
56 you into a small office, that is about three feet taller
57 than you, and begins yelling at you.
58
59 Q. Did you recruit, is it a girl, Lee Anne Pipkin?
60 A. I am just trying to remember if I did her. I believe
