Biography Text
Yolande worked the 2nd shift at Tupperware 3 days a week while attending Rhode Island College.As a molder Yolande would stand at the molding machine and take the items out when they were finished and check for any defects including "Shorts", where a bit of plastic was missing and "Flashes", where there was extra plastic. In her two years at the mill Yolande says she gained a lot of respect for folks who worked in the mill full time for a living.
