6 MISS STEEL: If you could turn to tab 3, which is the Crew
7 Handbook for 1989/1990, and turn to page 117 in the
8 bundle.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Which bundle are we in?
11
12 MS. STEEL: Pink XI.
13 A. Yes.
14
15 Q. Under the "changes to your hours of work", the second
16 paragraph: "From to time you may be requested to come in
17 to work on a shift when you are not scheduled, but you will
18 be offered the minimum of three hours work. On occasions
19 you may be asked to continue working past your normal
20 finishing time. You will be released as soon as the need
21 for your service has passed".
22 A. Yes, OK.
23
24 Q. You would now accept that it is in the Crew members'
25 contract that they have to stay on and work extra hours
26 whether they want to or not, if they are instructed to do
27 so?
28 A. It is possible under that to ask people to work past
29 the hours that they were scheduled to work, yes.
30
31 Q. They can be instructed to do so?
32 A. Yes, but any reasonable manager would use that very,
33 very sparingly. He would obviously attempt to meet the
34 extra hours work by people who wanted to work.
35
36 MR. MORRIS: If we look at paragraph 39 on page 14 of Mark
37 Davis' statement. That was tab 33 again.
38 A. Yes, sorry the paragraph number?
39
40 Q. It is tab 33, paragraph 39 on page 14?
41 A. Yes, I have it.
42
43 Q. Mark Davis, the last sentence says, he said actually: "As
44 I mentioned above there is no set policy as to when the
45 store closes if the crew had not been" -----
46 A. Excuse me, I cannot see where you are reading.
47
48 Q. In the middle of the paragraph he is talking about store
49 closes?
50 A. Paragraph 39.
51
52 Q. Paragraph 39, the third sentence: "As I mentioned
53 above ..."
54 A. Yes, I have it.
55
56 Q. "... There is no set policy as to when the store closes. If
57 the crew had not finished by midnight it was understood
58 that the crew were allowed to leave when the work was done?
59 A. Yes.
