TRASH PILES UP. 10K WORKERS WALK OUT.

The largest blue-collar union in Philadelphia, AFSCME District Council 33, just walked off the job. This is not just a labor story. It is a warning shot. In this episode of The Dangerous Ones, we break down how 10,000 essential workers said enough is enough, demanding fair pay, full healthcare, and basic respect from a city that seems more focused on appearances than accountability. Trash is piling up, 911 centers are overwhelmed, and the mayor’s solution was to tell residents to haul their own garbage, right after giving herself a 9 percent raise.This episode dives into what happens when working people stop the machine. It is not just about wages. It is about dignity, survival, and what democracy looks like when the people push back. We lay out what the workers are actually asking for, why it matters, and how the power of solidarity is felt when everyday people decide they will not be ignored. If you care about justice, community, or just not dragging six bags of trash across town during a heatwave, this one is for you.
