I really feel for these administrative workers at Vancouver Opera who have already seen their positions axed/reduced/made part-time etc. What also disturbs is the implication these cuts will be required of non-unionized administrative staff and 'asked' of unionized orchestra, chorus, stagehands etc. Good luck with the latter! It would be very unfair if only administrative staff bore the brunt of these measures...and truly, how does a saving of $45,000 really help other than to damage morale?
