Why melbourne council workers are escalating from skipping bins to a full strike?

Melbourne council workers are going from just not doing their job a little bit to not doing it at all, like moving from skipping a few bins to completely ignoring them.

Imagine you're playing a game where you have to put your toys in the toy box. At first, you might forget to put one or two toys in, that's like skipping a bin. But then, if you keep forgetting more and more, eventually you just stop putting any of your toys in the box, that’s like going on strike and not doing any bins at all.

The workers are like those kids who forgot about their toys. At first, they were only skipping some bins, maybe because they were tired or wanted to take a break. But now, they're so frustrated or upset that they’re saying, “We’re not going to do any bins anymore!” That’s why it's moving from skipping bins to a full strike.

It’s like when you’re mad at your friend and say, “I won’t share my toys with you anymore,” instead of just sharing fewer toys.
