     1        going, like, working at both places.  Sometimes I was
     2        tired, but other than that I was fine.
     3
     4   Q.   Had you talked to Sarah about that?
     5        A.  I talked, we -- I believe we were at Kevin's party,
     6        I am not sure, but I told her that I was getting a second
     7        job at Northern and that I had told Cam that, and I told
     8        her that Cam had said that he has known other people who
     9        has had two jobs and it has interfered, but he said that it
    10        was fine, that if I worked the two jobs it would be fine,
    11        so long as it did not interfere with my job at McDonald's
    12        or my job performance at McDonald's.
    13
    14   Q.   You were concerned to make sure that it did not interfere
    15        with your performance at McDonald's, so that you did not
    16        let Cam down?
    17        A.  Right.  Well, I did not want to let any of my bosses
    18        down.  I mean, I am going to put a hundred per cent into my
    19        job.  It does not matter where I am working.  I put a
    20        hundred per cent into Northern and I put a hundred per cent
         into McDonald's.
    22
    23   Q.   But you talked about this to Sarah, and you talked about
    24        the fact that the reason you had taken the job was because
    25        you were trying to save up to go to university?
    26        A.  Yes.
    27
    28   Q.   You were actually quite interested in the union at the
    29        start?
    30        A.  No.  I just -- I went there to learn about it.  You
    31        know, if somebody invites me to something, to say, "Hey, do
    32        you want to learn about it", I will say, "Sure."  I have an
    33        open mind; I am open to learning new things.
    34
    35   Q.   You signed up for the union in the third week of August,
    36        I think you have said?
    37        A.  That is what I believe the date was, yes.  They had my
    38        card at the Labour Board hearing and they showed me the
    39        date I signed, but I cannot remember it.
    40
    Q.   Was that the third week of August?
    42        A.  I cannot remember.
    43
    44   Q.   It was in August?
    45        A.  I believe it was in August, yes.
    46
    47   Q.   You said that you eventually signed because Sarah had
    48        badgered you a couple of times at meetings and that
    49        Chris Morrison had also asked you to join?
    50        A.  No, it was not only at meetings; it was every time we 
    51        saw each other.  She would ask if I had signed a card and 
    52        if I wanted to yet and if I could yet.  It was the same 
    53        thing with Chris Morrison; every time I saw him, he would
    54        ask me the same thing.
    55
    56   Q.   You were finding that annoying, were you?  You just wanted
    57        to -----
    58        A.  Yes.  I just -- I wanted to be left alone.  I wanted to
    59        go about, you know, my everyday life and not have to be
    60        bothered with it.
