1 Managers told me as well.

3 Q. The Managers told you that they had rung her up and
4 threatened her?
5 A. They did not put it exactly in those terms, but the
6 Managers had told me that they had rung her up and she
7 would have told me -- I would have asked her: "So, if you
8 were so tired, why did you come in?" "If you were not
9 willing, why did you come in?" and she would say: "They
10 threatened with cutting my working hours". It was actually
11 confirmed by several Managers that they would threaten
12 them. They would not tell you that they threatened the
13 person, but they would have said: "Yes, we have told them
14 that we would cut their hours".

16 Q. Please turn over the page to the big paragraph beginning:
17 "While I was at Colchester, one of the full-time crew
18 members, a 17 year old male", who appears to be Adrian
19 Brett; is that right?
20 A. Where are we now?
21
22 Q. Page 9, the paragraph beginning: "While I was at
23 Colchester"?
24 A. Yes.
25
26 Q. "... one of the full time crew members, a 17 year old
27 male", whom you say is Adrian Brett; is that right?
28 A. That is right.
29
30 Q. Is that right?
31 A. Yes.
32
33 Q. The whole of this paragraph is based on what he told you,
34 is it not?
35 A. Well, it is -- that is true, but also it is also true
36 that on my impression, that it is based on my impression of
37 the whole situation, because before he had a meeting with
38 the Manager in question he was very willing to continue
39 with his studies and it all suddenly changed after the
40 meeting.
41
42 Q. Next page, page 10: "Where an employee, under the age of
43 18, had to work beyond the legally permitted hour, the
44 employee had to clock out at the legal time and then
45 management would write on his/her card something
46 like 'bonus - X hours', or simply 'add on X'." Tell me,
47 did you see management doing that?
48 A. Oh, yes.
49
50 Q. If so, please give me the names of the Managers that did
51 it?
52 A. I have seen Daniel Rizzardini do that. I have seen
53 Steve do that.
54
55 Q. Steve Harney?
56 A. Steve Harney. I have seen, I think I have seen Simon
57 Gibney do that and other Managers as well. What I am
58 saying is that, basically, whoever was on the shift and was
59 instructed to do that, he would have done it.
