Power
On your own, you don’t have a whole lot of it. You’re a government employee, and a low-level one at that. You report to a sanitation company, who reports to the city’s Department of Public Services. So hopefully, you don’t have a problem with the way things are run.
But what if you do? Well, if you’re smart enough to get together with all the other sanitation workers in your city, you can have a pretty big influence. All you have to do is stop working. Welcome As the trash builds up around the city, people will start to listen. Assuming you don’t make a mess of negotiations (get it?), you’ll be able to make your point crystal clear.
