:53:01
We're having a lot of people
just abandon their house sometimes.
:53:05
Thank God we're getting
new equipment here.
:53:07
We're getting new higher-tech computers
that will be able to process more mail.
:53:12
I don't foresee this job evaporating.
:53:15
I feel we're secure in forwarding mail.
:53:17
Usually we see somebody every day
that we know...
:53:21
that's moved on, left town.
:53:23
A lot of people are looking
for work elsewhere.
:53:25
My husband's currently laid off, and we're
giving some thought to it ourselves.
:53:30
The GM layoff.
:53:33
We have been having so many trucks...
:53:36
go one-way to places like Florida...
:53:38
and places south of here.
:53:41
We have a very hard time
keeping trucks in the Flint area.
:53:45
It's expected we'll get some
of our fleet back towards midsummer...
:53:50
but with the layoffs coming heavier...
:53:54
it's going to be very hard
to keep a truck around here.
:54:09
I continued to dog Roger
all over the country.
:54:12
From Detroit to Chicago...
:54:15
to Washington, D.C., to New York City.
:54:17
I followed a trail of three-martini lunches
in pursuit of the chairman.
:54:22
I finally found Roger at the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City...
:54:26
where he was getting an award
for the car of the year.
:54:30
We weren't in the hotel five minutes...
:54:32
when GM security recognized
one of our crew members...
:54:35
as a relative of their arch nemesis,
Ralph Nader.
:54:38
They called the New York City police
and carried him out...
:54:41
chair and all,
down to precinct headquarters.
:54:47
As soon as I could,
I headed to Detroit to Roger's office...
:54:50
where I was determined this time
to get on to the 14th floor.
