Day 207 - 23 Jan 96 - Page 42
1 statistically, whether they actually go round the
2 individual members at the rap session and they ask them and
3 then divide it by the number of staff. I am not sure how
4 that is arrived at, or whether they ask the individuals how
5 often, how many hours they worked.
6
7 Q. If it is an average, it must be that either they are all
8 working the same number of hours -----
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Your point must be right in logic. What one
11 does not know is how literally it is all taken.
12
13 MS. STEEL: Right. (To the witness) If you just go on to
14 page 221, you said in your statement that -- well, if you
15 just look at the last point, it says: "Why do you think are
16 the main reasons why crew leave McDonald's?"; and it says:
17 "Pressured environment." I presume the Company has not
18 done anything to change that, at the Bath store?
19 A. I do not appear to have 221.
20
21 Q. It is not there? It is in file 1. Did you say it is not
22 there?
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is in section 10, or should be. It is
25 only four pages further on than the sheet you were looking
26 at a moment ago. Do you have 221?
27 A. I have 221.
28
29 Q. Were you looking at 217 a moment ago, or had you not turned
30 that up?
31 A. No, but I just answered the question, basically, from
32 what you said.
33
34 Q. Just look at 217. Do you have any reservation about any of
35 the answers you gave, having looked at it?
36 A. No.
37
38 Q. 221, then.
39 A. 221.
40
41 MS. STEEL: The last answer.
42 A. Yes, "pressurised environment". Well, I mean, some
43 people, obviously, due to the activity within the building
44 or be it working till, or et cetera, may find it
45 pressurised. I think that is down to, you know, an
46 individual.
47
48 Q. This is what the main reasons are why crew leave
49 McDonald's.
50 A. Yes. It has also got "moving on to use educational
51 qualifications".
52
53 MISS STEEL: I do think Mr. Rampton should keep quiet during
54 cross-examination.
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Try not to give too much evidence,
57 Mr. Rampton.
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: I am sorry, my Lord.
