“$10.25 to pick up trash - come on now. It’s contaminated now with coronavirus,” strike leader Gregory Woods told Payday Report. https://paydayreport.com/prison-labor-replaces-striking-garbage-workers-in-new-orleans/
NoLa refuses to meet with the striking garbage workers.
“They aren’t trying to hear us,” says Woods. “They don’t care about us; they would let anything happen. If we were to get sick, they don’t care if we spread the disease" https://paydayreport.com/prison-labor-replaces-striking-garbage-workers-in-new-orleans/
