member is a violation of that rule.
l don't respect you!
When you give me respect, l'll respect you.
-Take it easy.
-l know my rights!
l really don't know the answer.
l feel sorry for people...
but you can't help them. l mean,
you have such a good welfare program.
So, they just don't want to work.
l don't think so. l really don't know.
-Good shot.
-That's nice.
All four of us have always lived in Flint
and gone to school here.
We just love it so.
-What do you love about it?
-l personally love our friends, you know.
And we like our club, and we like...
all the stores and...
you know, what's left of them.
l think everybody should...
try to find another job, or do
something else in training, or something.
You think a lot of people are being lazy?
l think some of them.
l think a lot of them
take the easy way out.
Judge issued the order
to vacate the house.
-Right now?
-Yes, ma'am.
Okay, that's what we'll do.
l'll go get a truck.
-Today?
-Right now.
Can't you wait till we get a truck?
You can get the truck,
but they got a crew on the way here.
They stopped at the store to get a pop.
l'd get dressed if l was you.
We got to vacate the house.
We're doing more evictions,
more repossessions, and everything...
way behind, trying to catch up.
A lot of these people bought
school clothes and didn't pay the rent.
The system 's got to change...
because if they didn't have enough money
to pay rent and buy cIothes...
they're in troubIe, anyway.
l've put out some of my best friends,
but it's nothing personal, you know.
They know me, they know what l do, so....
lf they're lucky enough to draw me...
at least they got somebody to talk to.
What?
These peopIe couIdn't find a truck.
They caIIed two or three different pIaces.
They called U-Haul...
and they said all their trucks
were out for today.
They called Ryder Truck, and they said
all of theirs were out for today.
A gentleman came by, we hauled him
down, and he didn't want to get involved.
So now l assume they're on the phone,
trying to get a trailer...
from Mark's Trailer Rental
up on Carpenter Road.
Why are all the trucks being rented here?
People are probably moving.
With GM cIosing,
there are so many peopIe Ieaving town.
We've handIed
over 82,000 address changes.
We're having a Iot of peopIe
just abandon their house sometimes.
Thank God we're getting
new equipment here.
We're getting new higher-tech computers
that will be able to process more mail.
l don't foresee this job evaporating.
l feel we're secure in forwarding mail.
Usually we see somebody every day
that we know...
that's moved on, Ieft town.
A Iot of peopIe are Iooking
for work eIsewhere.
My husband's currently laid off, and we're
giving some thought to it ourselves.
The GM layoff.
We have been having so many trucks...
go one-way to places like Florida...
and places south of here.
We have a very hard time
keeping trucks in the Flint area.
lt's expected we'll get some
of our fleet back towards midsummer...
but with the layoffs coming heavier...
it's going to be very hard
to keep a truck around here.
I continued to dog Roger
aII over the country.
From Detroit to Chicago...
to Washington, D.C., to New York City.
I foIIowed a traiI of three-martini Iunches
in pursuit of the chairman.
I finaIIy found Roger at the
WaIdorf-Astoria hoteI in New York City...
where he was getting an award
for the car of the year.
We weren't in the hoteI five minutes...
when GM security recognized
one of our crew members...
as a reIative of their arch nemesis,
RaIph Nader.
They caIIed the New York City poIice
and carried him out...
chair and aII,
down to precinct headquarters.
As soon as I couId,
I headed to Detroit to Roger's office...
where I was determined this time
to get onto the 14th fIoor.
Excuse me.
-Where are you guys going?
-We're going up to the 14th floor.
-Do you have an appointment?
-We're going to see Roger Smith.
No, you'
