Hopson says heâs going on strike because he wants a pay raise for the job where heâs been for 18 years.
âIâm sure the citizens [are going to hear] what we talking about when they canât get their trash picked up or they canât get their lights turned on. Iâm sure the citizens will hear us,â Hopson said.
