What right does management have to beat employees? Do they think this is 1806 instead of 2006?! Even they stole or planned to steal, there are legal remedies for that. Must be a Jamaican phenomenon like Uncle dropping lick under McKenzie bimshie.

Some members of the police force could find themselves in trouble with the law in relation to the alleged beating of two employees of a SuperPlus store in Manchester.
Thursday afternoon a resident magistrate questioned why the policemen have not been charged, and ordered that the file be turned over to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a ruling.
Resident Magistrate Marva McDonald-Bishop was obviously irritated Thursday afternoon after hearing the allegations surrounding the beating of the two SuperPlus employees.
Speaking in the Mandeville Resident Magistrate's Court, Mrs. McDonald-Bishop, questioned why charges had not been laid against the policemen who went to a premises where the men were beaten and took the injured men to the Mandeville Police Station.
Mrs. McDonald-Bishop was also concerned that only five of the seven men accused of being involved in the beating were before the court.
She ordered that the other two should be arrested.
Thursday morning 34-year-old Jeremy Chen, the owner of the SuperPlus Supermarket on Park Crescent in Mandeville, 35-year-old manager of the store, Ainsley Henry, and three supervisors, 27-year-old Ryan Lindo, 34-year-old Garth Fagan and 33-year-old Fabian Foster surrendered to the police.
They are charged with illegal possession of a firearm, unlawful wounding and assault causing bodily harm.
The case was put off until 2:00 Thursday afternoon as the Resident Magistrate said she needed time to acquaint herself with it.
While the case was being heard, a large crowd gathered outside the courthouse demanding justice.
The mood soured when members of the crowd saw one of the two victims being carried from the courthouse.
The crowd travelled to the Park Crescent Road SuperPlus store where frightened employees quickly pulled the shutters.
It was a similar scene at the Manchester Road branch of SuperPlus where a mob forced employees to close that store.
The crowd then moved to the SuperPlus wholesale outlet on Manchester Road and a supermarket at Mid Way Mall and again forced the closure of these facilities.
When the court reconvened at 2:00 Thursday afternoon the Resident Magistrate said she would hear bail applications on behalf of the five accused men in their absence as a large angry crowd had started to gather in the precincts of the court.
But the police advised the magistrate that they could get the men to and from the courthouse safely.
Attorney-at-law Norman Godfery made an application for bail on behalf of the five men but this was rejected by the Resident Magistrate, who noted that the condition of one of the victims was unstable.
She ordered that the five should be remanded until February 8 when the case will again be mentioned.
