By MARK HAMILTON The three program co ordinators, one of whom has 17 years seniority, were given their lay-off notices this week. The lay-offs, which go into effect on March 28, are ex- pected to result in a net sav- ings of $800 a month for Neighborhood House, accor- ding to executive director Doug Souberin. But SORWUC — the Ser- vice, Office and Retail Workers Union of Canada —, which represents the three laid-off workers and 25 others at the house, charges the non-profit society with using its financial problems as an excuse to break the union. A press release from the union says that Ruby Larkin, the co-ordinator for senior citizens program at Neighborhood House and a 17-year employee, was one of the onginal organizers of the union. A second woman to face unemployment is three-year employee Joanne MHochu, formerly a paid union Organizer, an original Organizer of the union at Neighborhood House and president of the local. The third woman, who is . not identified because she fears the stigma of the events at Neighborhood House may lessen her chances of finding work, was union shop steward and a member of the union’s negotuating team. The three laid-off program co-ordinators will be replaced by a program director, says Soubenn. That will be a presently unfilled manage. ment position provided for under the contract’ with SORWUC.
