Dateline: 9th June, 2004 Chair Should Go, Say Unions The chairman of Scottish Opera, Duncan McGhie, should resign after the announcement that 88 jobs are to go at the struggling company (see yesterday's story), say unions representing those who are most likely to be made redundant, the Chorus and technical staff. Mr McGhie, however, told the Scotsman newspaper that he has the full backing of the Scottish Executive. "I have the absolute backing of the minister, the Executive and my board," he said, "and anyone else who is saying anything other is irrelevant." However the paper reports that there is growing unrest on the company's board, with one unnamed member suggesting that he will have to go sooner or later. Demands are also growing for the resignations of chief executive, Christopher Barron, and music director, Sir Richard Armstrong. They are accused of being the people responsible for getting the company into financial hot water in the first place.
