Day 133 - 12 Jun 95 - Page 15
1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Are they national or are they particular
2 areas?
3
4 MR. MORRIS: I do not see how they could be national figures.
5
6 MR. RAMPTON: I really do not see why they should not be
7 national figures. I see that there are 430 Managers and
8 these are Company restaurants actually.
9
10 THE WITNESS: I believe they are, yes.
11
12 MR. RAMPTON: That does not include licensees, does it?
13 A. It does not include employees of franchisees, no.
14
15 Q. So these are national figures. As I say, notice in
16 passing, perhaps, with a tinge of regret, that only 20 per
17 cent of the Managers, that is 86 out of 430, are women. Do
18 you see that? The bottom of -----
19 A. Right, yes, the total.
20
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Could we just pause a moment? If, for
23 instance, the 442 which Mr. Rampton has drawn your
24 attention to on 624 A, the first page, was covering all the
25 Second Plaintiff's restaurants, that is, non-franchised
26 restaurants, then the number of second assistants of nearly
27 800 and first assistants of 451, that would make sense
28 nationally as well?
29 A. Yes, yes, it does.
30
31 MR. RAMPTON: I am grateful to your Lordship.
32 (To the witness): Pass beyond the women and then the men,
33 please, Ms. Mead, 624 C to 624 D where, unless I am
34 mistaken, we come, do we, to a different categorisation of
35 occupation or employment?
36 A. Yes, it is the office staff and senior Operations
37 people.
38
39 Q. Senior Operations people. Again I am interested to look by
40 way of an example at the senior Operations people, that is
41 to say, codes 30 and 32, Operations Manager and
42 Supervisor. The Supervisor is senior to the Operations
43 Manager, is he or she?
44 A. No. The supervisor is more junior than the Operations
45 Manager.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He is the three or four restaurants person?
48 A. That is right.
49
50 MR. RAMPTON: I had forgotten my hierarchy. Again I can tell
51 you that ------
52
53 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, I have that wrong. The Supervisor is the
54 three or four restaurant person and the Senior Supervisor
55 is the person whose title has now been changed?
56 A. Yes. I thought you were referring to the Supervisor.
57 Yes, the Supervisor has four restaurants and the Operations
58 Manager is the one to whom the Supervisor reports who will
59 have 20 or 30 restaurants.
