The Twenty Year Club welcomed its 23rd member this Monday when Annette Forsey celebrated two decades of employment at Confer Plastics.
The LaSalle High graduate, who now calls North Tonawanda home, started working here on July 25th, 1991 after stints at Solar Drape in Tonawanda and Finishing Enterprises at Wulitzer Park in NT. To put that era into perspective, her wage at Finishing Enterprises when she left there was $3.85.
Annette was a machine operator for a while before making the permanent move to the secondaries department where since 1992 she has packed swimming pool ladder hardware and done other tasks. In a typical year, she and her partner in crime Vicki might pack between 50,000 and 60,000 hardware bags. So, over her 20 years, she helped pack nearly 1 million of them!
