My Dad's father worked at Fisher Body until he died in 1963. My Mom's father was an engineer at AC Sparkplug and retired from there in 1968. One did the labor, the other did the designing.
My Dad could have gone into the shop when he got out of high school or returned from serving in Korea. I asked him why he didn't and he told me didn't want to be a "shop rat". He could have retired with 30 years in mid 80's.
It's much different now inside the plants with many tedious tasks handled by robots. The workers also switch to different work stations so as to not be stuck doing the same thing for a shift.
The men who work in the foundries have it better now but it is still a hard job. That smell stays with you for a while.
