Day 142 - 26 Jun 95 - Page 09
1 A. The Company, in general, we are available to provide
2 advice and consultation. It is usually on request and
3 there would be people visiting that marketplace from time
4 to time, but the Philippines was not an area of priority
5 for us. There was nothing of any unusual nature other than
6 the normal Human Resource kinds of questions that would
7 come up.
8
9 Q. So you only get involved if there is something of an
10 unusual nature?
11 A. No, it would be a high level nature. That would be
12 when I would normally get involved. I usually do not get
13 involved in day-to-day questions and answers.
14
15 Q. Right. Do you get involved if there is some specific
16 dispute going on?
17 A. No. I get involved with compensation matters, the full
18 run of Human Resource matters. That would be at a higher
19 level.
20
21 Q. You said you have given advice on trade unions following
22 disputes or during disputes in other countries?
23 A. I have on occasions, sure. I have done that, sure --
24 as well as I have given advice and counsel on the entire
25 area of Human Resources.
26
27 MR. MORRIS: If we go to document 126 (sic) in the Defendants'
28 original set of documents. That will be kingfisher blue.
29 I do not know what bundle it is.
30
31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is bundle IV. It will just be 26 in that
32 bundle, not 126.
33
34 MR. MORRIS: Forget the first page. That is completely
35 different. The second page -- I am sorry, this is very
36 poor quality -- this is a document from the Philippines.
37 If you go to the second page, there is there a photocopy,
38 very badly printed -- I have not got the original in court
39 -- of placemats?
40 A. Could you help me identify where you are at?
41
42 Q. It is the third page in, I believe, of the document. It
43 has "Fast Food Fever" on the left hand side. It is tab
44 26.
45 A. I am at 26 and I do not have what you are -----
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What is the first document in tab 26?
48 A. My Lord, the first document says: "The Daily Mirror",
49 it looks like 12 ------
50
51 MR. MORRIS: No, it is different.
52
53 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Riley has found it. For some reason --
54 perhaps someone could look at it later -- the first
55 document in the tab is not the "Sideswipe" one but the NME
56 one.
57
58 MR. MORRIS: The "Sideswipe" one should be the first.
59
60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It should be I do not think it is. Anyway,
