Day 206 - 22 Jan 96 - Page 67


     
     1        crew people, have to do?
     2        A.  All members of staff, be they salaried or whoever, will
     3        invariably work a number of tasks of that kind or are
     4        performed by members, you know, crew members, members of
     5        staff.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you mean that all people in managerial
     8        positions work jobs that -----
     9        A.  That is right.  Any of the management, you know, can
    10        work grill or be called upon to work a till or work a
    11        station.
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  But the reality is that the crew generally do the
    14        jobs, the production jobs, and the management are in charge
    15        of co-ordinating that work; is that correct?
    16        A.  Yes, it makes sense to have the Managers to co-ordinate
    17        the staff because there are more staff than there are
    18        Managers.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is the complaint Mr. Olive is making in
    21        point 9, Mr. Morris?
    22
    23   MR. MORRIS:  It seems to me that you are still an hourly paid
    24        worker, expected to work on production at the same time,
    25        you are now management and expected to able to have the
    26        extra responsibilities that that entails.  I think that is
    27        pretty clear, it seems to me.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Anyway, that is how you understand it.
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  That is how I understand it, yes.  It comes right
    32        after the previous one of "No reward scheme for Floor
    33        Managers and limited recognition".
    34
    35        The next one is a bit general to really go into.  I am just
    36        checking something.  (To the witness):  When it says,
    37        "communications and recruitment and the store audit" --
    38        forget that sheet for a minute -- I am just going to ask
    39        you, what does "communications and recruitment" mean?
    40        A.  In a ------
    41
    42   Q.   In a store?
    43        A.  In what context, in a personnel audit?
    44
    45   Q.   Yes.
    46        A.  Communications will be notices that would be placed
    47        upon the crew board saying, "Mcbooks", "McScholarship"
    48        schemes, et cetera.
    49
    50   Q.   OK.  I am just trying to check.  I thought I saw something 
    51        about practices.  This could be an area where the documents 
    52        could come in --- 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    55
    56   MR. MORRIS:  -- because we have a large amount of information
    57        about, basically, the store audits, also rap session
    58        notes.  I do not particularly want to go through them with
    59        the witness, but I have to do it at some stage this week,
    60        but -----
