There has been a significant power outage in the area because of thunderstorms. It is affecting 1,600 businesses and residences in North Tonawanda and another 1,100 in Wheatfield...Confer Plastics is one of them. Because of that, 2nd shift has been sent home for Monday, August 26th. Power is set to be restored to the grid at 5:00 PM (per National Grid) and then we have to energize the plant and tend to the machines. So, TENTATIVELY there is still a 3rd shift tonight. To verify if there is or is not a 3rd shift, call the factory lunchroom at 10:00 PM (716.692.1025). I am hoping to have the Facebook page and blog updated by that time, too.
