Nobody said cleaners? Cleaners, and rubbish/trash/garbage collectors
Good booked called "A Decolonial Feminism" by Françoise Verges talks about the line of oppression which is defined by those which arrive at clean places and those that must make those places clean. Totally thankless and even exported for imperialism (sending trash to other countries to deal with for very little money, which they must accept because they're already in poverty from Imperialism).
In the USA, garbage collectors are in the top 10 most dangerous jobs, due to injuries involving Dumpsters and equipment
A story from before I joined, someone was training and got pinned with a light pole. The vehicle cut him in half. Now we require backup cameras :D
