millhand
Industrial plant employee
A millhand is a worker in a mill—typically a textile mill, sawmill, or flour mill.
The term dates from when mills were major employers in industrial towns: Her grandfather worked as a millhand in the cotton mills of Manchester.
Like farmhand and deckhand, it combines the workplace with hand meaning worker.
