Day 152 - 11 Jul 95 - Page 26

     
     1   Q.   So you would rather create dangerous working conditions
     2        because staff would have to work a lot faster than have
     3        someone in who looked a little bit -----
     4        A.  No, I said -- no, no, I would phone people in, but if
     5        that meant having to work longer myself or harder myself
     6        until those people came in, then, yes, that was an
     7        unfortunate necessity in terms of maintaining a standard
     8        and consistency from the Manager to his crew or to my crew.
     9
    10   Q.   This was while you were a Manager, was it?
    11        A.  I can give you sort of that as a categoric when I was a
    12        Manager, and it was something that I -- a philosophy, if
    13        you like, and something I followed up on as a Supervisor.
    14
    15   Q.   So when you were a Supervisor, you are saying that you did
    16        this while you were a Supervisor as well or was it you just
    17         -----
    18        A.  Well, I would not do it personally, but I would
    19        certainly bring it -- if I was in the restaurant or came
    20        into the restaurant -- to the attention of the shift
         running Manager or if the Manager himself was around or
    22        subsequent telephone -----
    23
    24   Q.   It would be up to them to sort it out?
    25        A.  Yes, yes, I mean, I was not running the store, but it
    26        was part of my responsibility to, I think, if you like,
    27        educate some of the younger Managers.  I think some of the
    28        Floor Managers particularly where -- they may have been
    29        quite happy, I think, to have allowed people who were not
    30        of the sort of correct appearance to stay on, but who were
    31        happy, rather, for them to stay on, then it is a matter for
    32        me explaining why.
    33
    34   MR. MORRIS:  I think we have finished; we are just making a last
    35        check.
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:  No further questions.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.
    40
                      Re-examined by Mr. Atkinson.
    42
    43   Q.   Mr. Stanton, I have one further question in
    44        re-examination:  Can you turn to pink volume XI and then it
    45        is tab 1, it is page 37 of the bundle and 36 of this
    46        particular document.
    47        A.  "Holiday Entitlement"?
    48
    49   Q.   Do you see where it says that?
    50        A.  Yes. 
    51 
    52   Q.   Can you just read that to yourself? 
    53        A.  OK.
    54
    55   Q.   That is the Crew Handbook from 1986.  Does anything in
    56        there not correspond with your understanding of the
    57        arrangements for holiday pay at that time?
    58        A.  From what I can recall, this is consistent with my
    59        memory.
