:26:02
It's not just one or two bad guys.
:26:05
It takes a village
to do what's being done here.
:26:09
I'm not saying all of them.
:26:11
But enough of them.
:26:13
In the plant, out in the pit,
and even up in the offices...
:26:17
...all with the foot on the throat
of every woman in that mine.
:26:22
It's not just my client who needs relief
from this court, Your Honor.
:26:26
We are asking for an injunction
to protect all the women.
:26:29
Further, we ask the court
to certify a class.
:26:32
A class made up of every woman
working at Pearson...
:26:35
...because every one of them
deserves protection under the law.
:26:38
Doesn't a class actually require
more than one plaintiff?
:26:41
This complaint was filed
on behalf of one Josey Aimes.
:26:44
The key word being "one."
:26:46
By comparison, we have affidavits
from 13 women...
:26:50
...all stating there have been
no incidents of abuse...
:26:52
That is not true.
:26:54
Hey.
:26:57
Sit down.
:26:59
- It's not true.
- Sit down.
:27:07
Your Honor, are you as confused
as we are?
:27:11
I don't think Miss Conlin is supposed
to be waving around a pile of paper...
:27:16
...without letting us see it first, is she?
:27:19
- No, she's not. Miss Conlin.
- They'll be submitted to the court today.
:27:24
It doesn't matter what kind of document
they've been intimidated into signing...
:27:28
- Give me a break.
- Please.
:27:30
- Get me three plaintiffs.
- Your Honor, please.
:27:33
Counselor, if those affidavits are legitimate,
you shouldn't have an objection.
:27:37
I'll continue to hear evidence
on Aimes v. Pearson, et al.
:27:40
If you find three plaintiffs with similar
grievances, I'll give you your class action.
:27:49
Thank you, Your Honor.
:27:54
Okay, then, here we go.
:27:59
We'll just hold it against your throat.
