From WRAL in Raleigh, NC
Nearly 60 Raleigh solid waste workers announced Wednesday that they will not go out on their trash routes.
The workers are holding a stand-in at 40 W. Peace Street.
The workers said they are upset about a dispute with management regarding overtime. They also said they will refuse to go out on the routes until their issues have been addressed.
Let me get this straight. We pay the city to pick up our garbage. We have no choice in the matter. There is no competition. But, because this is government, the garbagemen can decide without penalty to not go pick up your garbage today. And, since trash pickup is once a week in Raleigh, you will have to deal with your stinky, and possibly full, garbage cans till next week.
