Connolly describes his early work experience as a bookbinder in the Boston, Massachusetts, area about 1904. He describes the strike of 1921 which affected the entire printing industry. He also discusses the effect of changing technology on the trade and the effect of mergers and conglomerates on attitudes toward bargaining and negotiations. The latter part of the interview is devoted to the development of the Bookbinders International and its relationship with the AFL, concluding with a discussion of the events that led to merger in 1972.
