MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. — The entire cafeteria staff at an upstate New York community college will be laid off and replaced with vending machines. The Times Herald-Record reports that nine full-time and three part-time workers will lose their jobs in June at the Orange County Community College in Middletown. The college is part of State University of New York. Jessica Melchick, a food staffer for the past four years, said workers cried when they heard about the layoffs Friday. The Orange County Community College Association, a non-profit that runs the cafeterias, says in an email to students that the change follows a deficit last year of more than $150,000 in food-service operations.
