dc.description	According to John Manley, Night Supervisor at the Bronx 2 Garage, locker rooms are a highly social space. Sanitation workers create their own environment in which to relax during breaks. The locker room is arranged so that the lockers form walls and rooms. Some of these rooms have couches and televisions, some have pool tables, and some have lounge chairs. The sections are generally organized by ethnicity (for example, Italian, Puerto Rican, Irish, and so forth), though there seems to be generalized camaraderie amongst all workers. The arrangement is also quite practical: during heavy snowstorms, or other times when employees work mandatory overtime for several consecutive days, many employees spend their off hours sleeping on the couches in the locker room rather than make the trek home and back.	-
