     1        Managers told me as well.
     2
     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.
