I worked a Jantzen Knitting mills in the swimsuit division, making polyester swimsuits, in the early eighties. My thinking when I applied was, I love to sew so why not? Why not, was sewing in a factory is NOT like home sewing! I stayed just long enough to find a new job making television sets for A Japanese company. I liked that job but the hot plastic fumes became a problem so that did not last long either.
