I am doing a research paper on how outsorcing jobs to other countries has changed the garment industry in America. is there any resources that can be reccommended for this subject? I’m having some trouble finding documentation to back up my topic
There was an HBO special about 2 months ago called schmatta something rags to riches.It was a documentary on the decline of the garment industry.Exactly what you are looking for.My family had a trucking business and we had 70 shops that we used to service.One by one closed because they could not find work because all the manufacturers started sending the work overseas.I spent 20yrs in the garment center.I loved it and will never forget it

My father was a garment carrier and garment maker from the 1940’s to the 1980’s. His trucking company was Barney Rinaldi Inc. We garaged in the Bronx by the Zoo, our first stops were an 187th street and we made our way downtown to deliver finished goods around 7th ave and 34th st and then picked up the bundles from the cutting rooms on 10th ave to deliver to the manufacturing shops. Here is a list of names, places, shops, companies etc in my memory. Any recollections would be appreciated.
Barney Rinaldi, JO-Ann MFG, Joanna Blouse, Chippy Bros, Natty-Q, Consolidated Trucking, Thomas Gambino, the ” Association”, Hygrade Casket, Leon Kalinski, Max and Sam, 501 7th ave. 149th st, 138th street, FM&B, Rusty Bordanaro, Dennis Bordanaro, Pete ( Persio) Palanco, Joe Patti, S & H, MariJon sportswear, DURANTE trucking, Blackie and Whitey, Theresa Aiello,
We also serviced the Bronx and upper Manhattan.Do you remember Duo Garment Carriers.We had one stop on 187th ST.We also had a shop that worked for Joanna Blouse on 18 or 19th ST.Did the trucks have the name on the side because I do not remember B Rinaldi Trucking.Our office was 307 west 38th ST.We shut down in 1998.Our last big account closed up and that was it,there was nothing left.

My father, Irving Bolog worked his entire career for Widder Brothers, 1441 Broadway. This was in an era when one could work a lifetime for one company and retire comfortably.
He did quite well. The Widder Brothers became rich…
