                                                   KIM MOFFATT, Examined:
 
 
 
     1        after that John Nevison started we had a fire.
     2
     3   Q.   In what part of the store was the fire?
     4        A.  It was called a corral, and that was where all the
     5        paperwork was kept.  We did not have enough room in the
     6        store to store all the paperwork, so it was put in boxes
     7        and kept in the corral.
     8
     9   MS. STEEL:   What is the word?
    10
    11   MR. RAMPTON:  Corral, like for horses in the Wild West,
    12        C-O-R-R-A-L.  (To the witness):  Can you turn over to page
    13        11 -- perhaps you are on page 11 now -- paragraph 11 on
    14        page 5, there is a paragraph here about unions:  "So far as
    15        unions are concerned, I have never heard any talk about
    16        them from the restaurant.  I do not recall a poster of the
    17        nature described by Beech ever being placed in the crew
    18        room".  You remember, he said there was a poster about not
    19        joining unions in big red writing, I think he said, in his
    20        statement.  He goes on: "Very occasionally, I had crew joke
    21        about going on strike but this has not been meant in a
    22        serious way."
    23
    24        Can I ask you, Miss Moffatt, do you remember Alan Beech?
    25        A.  Yes.
    26
    27   Q.   We are going to look at his personnel file in a moment.
    28        Roughly speaking, during 1994, when you were the Admin
    29        Assistant, how many hours a week were you doing?
    30        A.  Anything ranging from anything up to about 50 hours,
    31
    32   Q.   About 50 hours a week?
    33        A.  Yes, through choice.
    34
    35   Q.   What hours of the day were you doing?
    36        A.  Mainly 8.00 until 5.00, and -----
    37
    38   Q.   Sorry?
    39        A.  That was what I was scheduled, 8.00 until 5.00 mainly.
    40
    41   Q.   So that is about nine hours a day?
    42        A.  Yes.
    43
    44   Q.   Did you do five days a week then?
    45        A.  Yes.
    46
    47   Q.   Sometimes longer?
    48        A.  Yes.  If I needed to do something, I wanted to stay on,
    49        I would, I was allowed to.
    50
