”… it
was hard work for all of us. And on the hottest days in the summer they turned
the heat on to make the looms run better! Dehumidifying the place would have
cost too much I guess, and the looms were much more important than mere workers.”
“Worked at Craftex Mills one summer
in high school. The looms had to be keep working efficiently by keeping the
temperature extremely high . It was already hot as Hell but they had the HEAT
ON in the steam radiator system. Fuck the workers...keep those shuttlecocks
rolling! Also, there were enormous flying roaches all over. Nah! Factories
seemed cool from afar, but...inside? No thanks!”
