mean set up a whole building to replicated Toys r
Us for this movie.

Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
Now, the reason they call him roof Man is because
that's how he would rob mostly McDonald's stores. He had
come in through the roof lock the staff up in
the freezer, and he was kind of nice about it.
You know, if they didn't have a coat, he'd give
him there his and that sort of thing. But yeah,

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Toabao News Right on the other side, I remember in
Rayford for those twos to the mayor of Dismal sleep
bid all right, worry.

Speaker 15 (28:33):
Property Reford and the big shows on the radio, tell
you what gotten? So nowadays you can't believe the thing
the government says. A big corporations say. You know, they've
said that retireing health costs and pensions are the reasons
for GM being in such financial trouble, while of course
passing that expense on to the consumer. In the long run,
they say it adds about oh, fifteen hundred dollars to

(28:56):
the cost of every car last figures I saw on that. Well,
wonder if they're passing on their jobs bank internal program
out of the consumer. That's right, they pay employees not
to work. Can you believe that? Front page Wall Street
Journal story last week says the cost of this top's
nearly one and a half billion. That's with a b

(29:18):
billion dollars a year as layoffs fill the Jobs Bank.
The Job's Bank is just one of the symbols of
Detroit's dysfunction. They even have a room called the Rubber Room,
where laid off employees can go and spend the day
and get.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Paid for it.

Speaker 15 (29:33):
According to the Journal, they quote some fellow by the
name of Melon Jerry Mellon been working for him for
thirty four years, goes into the Rubber Room. The room
is a windowless old storage shed for engine parts filled
with long tables, has space for about four hundred employees.
They must arrive at six am each day, stay until
two thirty pm, with forty five minutes off for lunch.

(29:56):
A supervisor roams the aisle, signing people out they want
to go to the bathroom. Their job to do nothing.
This is the Jobs Bank, a two decade old program
under which nearly fifteen thousand auto workers continue to get
paid after their companies stop needing them. To earn wages
and benefits that off on top one hundred thousand a year,

(30:17):
the workers must perform some company approved activity many do
volunteer jobs to go back to school. The rest must
clock time in the rubber room or something like it.
It's called the rubber room, mister Melon says, because a
few days in there makes you go crazy. Each person
costs GM around one hundred to one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars in wages and benefits. This according to internal

(30:40):
union and company figures, Meeting GM's total cost this year
is likely to be around seven hundred and fifty million
to nine hundred million. One way employees in the Jobs
Bank and fulfill their requirements is to attend eight or
twelve week classes offered by GM. In these classes, mister
Mellon has studied crossword puzzles, watched Civil War movies, and

(31:04):
learned about man made marvels like the Brooklyn Bridge. One
class taught him how to play trivial pursuit. Talk about
trivial and there's more, much more about how the car
company is bound by union contracts pay people not to
work on cars and trucks. This story prompted letters to
the Journal today, among them this one Thousands of people

(31:26):
dig tunnel's, stowaway on ships, Ford's papers, and construct elaborate
rafts every year just to have a shot at reaching
the United States to make five dollars and fifteen cents
an hour. At McDonald's in Detroit, there are thousands of
people making up to one hundred thousand a year, including
benefits sitting in a room, sleeping, reading books, watching cartoons,

(31:47):
and doing crossword puzzles. There's something fundamentally wrong with that.
In another said, the employees who accept this absurdity should
be ashamed of themselves, and I agree. Robert d Rayfer
John Boyd Show.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Good Tuesday morning, there's a big show on the radio. Well,

break down right in front of them at various points
on the route. Remember don't be shy about giving them
a push. Well, you're off to a good star. That's
what she said, John Boy. Now, not every show can

(34:12):
be Seinfeld or Andy Griffith. The cast of some of
the greatest shows you've never heard of will be on hand.
