Some had worked there for 40 years. These are their stories - stories of shared lifetimes, families, food, friendships, injuries, jokes, fights, strikes and struggle and of many languages and cultures forging a community. Finding the Threads captures the comradeship, the wisdom and the connections of this group of retrenched Feltex workers". Thin booklet. Printed in Australia.
