Description: His brother convinced him to come to Flint to work in the Buick Plant. Connelly started at fifty cents an hour and never got a raise. After four years, he quit to go to Chevrolet plant where the pay was higher. He discusses the injustices of the bonus system. When he had his wages cut and wasn't able to get an answer about it, he angered the general foreman by going to the main office. Connelly says they treated workers "just like a dog" before the strike.
