Mumbai Sanitation Workers Strike Over Privatization Concerns

Mumbai Sanitation Workers Strike Over Privatization Concerns

Mumbai's sanitation workers are planning a strike because the city wants to hire private companies to collect trash.

This could mean the workers lose their jobs.

This is similar to what happened with the BEST buses, where private companies were hired, leading to problems like longer waits and safety concerns.

The main idea is that essential services like trash collection and buses should focus on helping people, not making money.

Some experts believe the city should focus on providing these services itself.
