              <text>This interview takes place in two parts.In Part I of the interview Theodore Meyers recall s joining the ALA at age nineteen as a feeder, his time in the Navy in the Second World War, and his return to work as a feeder and how he became active in the union. Meyers discusses his roles as financial secretary, recording secretary, and serving as president of the Local 24-L, Pittsburg from 1951- the time of the interview.  He recalls his own efforts as president of his local to get his own local’s approval of the Inter Local Pension Fund and the unique way he finally succeeded. Part II covers the intricacies of the power struggle among individual union personalities, the mergers with the Photoengravers Union and the Bookbinders Union and the problems it posed for his own Pittsburg local and for New York Local One, and the whole issue of merging the pension funds of the two Internationals. Meyers concludes the interview discussing his relationship with the Teamsters and the United Farm Workers.</text>
