Scottish salami

BBC Scotland, which employs some 1,100 in total, is looking for 60 redundancy volunteers over the next six weeks, in order to make savings called for by the Director General. Management say they have 'efficiency plans' but will wait to see where the volunteers are before announcing them.

Donalda Mackinnon, still here despite announcing her retirement in February, told staff, "BBC Scotland has been fortunate to attract significant investment in the last few years securing a new TV channel, increased network programming and the establishment of a design and engineering hub. That meant we were able to create an additional 250 jobs - but we aren't immune to the new financial challenges now facing many businesses up and down the country."
