OCTOBER 16. 1985, PAGE 21 Familyprotests promotion practices CONT'D FROM PG. 3 The inconclusive results of the in- vestigation have led the commission to request that a board of inquiry be set up by the Minister of Labor. As yet, a date for the inquiry has not been set. In the meantime, Of- fer has launched an $80,000 civil suit against Memorial Gardens for wrongful dismal. While the company protests that it never fired Offer and that he is still in its employ, Offer vehemen- tly denies that this is the case. Offer says that he has been without income since January of 1984, and adds that he did not resign. • While the suit was filed months ago, the court date has already been set back several times. "It's the stalling (of the company) that's dif- ficult to take," com- mented Offer. "I was a medic in Vietnam, and this has been much more traumatic." Offer's wife said-that her husband's troubles with Memorial Gardens have produced con- siderable strain on the entire family. "It's gone through the not sleeping, the waking up in the night ... to my high risk pregnancy. Our six year old has been having nightmares ... It's been a year and a half of sheer hell," said Pat Offer. While the Jamaican woman acknowledged that she had encoun- tered prejudice before, she was surprised that in the mid-eighties, minorities were still faced with it. The Offers' biggest problem now is Wayne's unemployment. While Memorial Gardens has offered him his old job back, they have refused to give him a management position. On those terms, the former salesman says he will not return. Although the father of two says he's "made it to second base" on several other jobs, when prospective employers have called Memorial Gardens for a referen- ce, they've been told Of- fer is still employed with the company. "Immediately, your credibility is destroyed," said Offer, and the job falls through. The commission's findings though they support many of Offer's S.A.C. SIMPLE!

Tired of waiting, the Offers decided to go public last week. Pat, Wayne and their one' year old son Parrish, picketed the entrance of Memorial Gardens.
