forelady

If you don't they'll get down on you, sure's pussy's a cat; and then they'll make it hot for you with complaining to the forelady.

The whim of a foreman or forelady, a day's sickness, a slackening in the trade, and she might be thrown out on the street.

And it was worth climbing five flights to have Miss Cross for a forelady.

Sooner or later I must run into a disagreeable forelady, for the experience.

Nor was the laughter the giggling kind, indulged in when the forelady was not looking.
