Day 131 - 06 Jun 95 - Page 74
1 A. I do not claim to be -- I am, Mr. Morris.
2
3 Q. You claim to be, that is your evidence; it does not mean
4 that I agree with it. In fact, I specifically stated that
5 I do not agree with it by asking the questions.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You are actually saying that he is not an
8 expert, are you? That is what you are putting to him?
9
10 MR. MORRIS: No, not independent. I recognise your expertise
11 but not your independence.
12
13 MR. RAMPTON: I think the accusation, is my Lord, that the
14 evidence is tainted or corrupt ---
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I understand that.
17
18 MR. RAMPTON: -- because Mr. Purslow takes some small part of
19 his fee income from McDonald's.
20
21 MR. MORRIS (To the witness): If you say that it is no good
22 getting people to work faster on a particular job because
23 there is a set time -- let us go to the observation check
24 list at 57 in that pink XIII.
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Tab 57?
27
28 MR. MORRIS: Yes. 57-O.
29 A. I am sorry, I am lost.
30
31 Q. It is pink XIII.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: 57 and then there are a number of letters,
34 57-0.
35 A. Thank you, my Lord. Thank you. Observation check
36 list, yes.
37
38 MR. MORRIS: If we go to page 8, for example?
39 A. This is check list 8 on the top right-hand corner?
40 This is hash browns and hot cakes; is that right?
41
42 Q. Yes. There is nothing in there about hustle as far as
43 I could find. Why is that, if it is something that runs
44 through the Company and it is about co-ordination and care
45 and frequency, and all that kind of stuff, it does not
46 mention it there?
47 A. I am sorry, I do not understand your point. Are you
48 saying that hustle should be included on this?
49
50 Q. This is the reality of what McDonald's are calling on their
51 workers to do, their actual job specifications, saying they
52 are making hash browns and hot cakes which, I believe, are
53 in deep oil; is that correct?
54 A. Yes.
55
56 Q. That is something that maybe would concern you that ---
57 A. Yes ---
58
59 Q. -- may get some burns?
60 A. -- they are placed into a basket and they are loaded
