Surprise, history cannot be rewritten.
They were literally part of no industry.
It was an artisanal kind of job. They at most had a small laboratory and very few machines (are this kind of sewing machines considered industrial machinery? [1] I don't think so.).
You know why none of my grandfather children became tailors?
Because it had became an industry and there was very little money in it and very little value could be added by expert hands.
It was already immigrants (at the time it was mostly internal migrations) in sweat shops, paid nothing, for long hours, with no rights, usually operated illegally.
The fashion industry is "the multibillion-dollar global enterprise devoted to the business of making and selling clothes".
AKA modern slavery - if the environment is not an argument for you.
Ask someone from Bangladesh, if you don't believe me.
You're welcome.

- bastawhiz 4y agoSo if I bootstrap a SaaS business, I'm not in the tech industry because I don't work at FAANG? What you're saying makes no sense.

Yes, exactly, if you boostrap a CRT TV repair shop you're not in the same business of Samsung. If you have a small carpentry shop, you're not in the same business of IKEA. If you plant your own tomatoes to make some sandwich for the local bar in a small village in Southern Italy, you're not competing with McDonalds. etc. etc. That's basically the difference between "artisanal" and "industrial". Might be lost knowledge by now, but I'm quite sure the distinction is still valid. EDIT: grammar
